Getting Started

Families and committed relationships take many forms — and not all are defined by marriage. At Nelson & Yarnell, we help clients resolve complex legal issues that arise in non-marital relationships, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected regardless of marital status.

Non-marital actions often involve the same emotional and financial challenges as divorce cases, but the legal process can differ significantly. Our attorneys have deep experience handling these matters and can help you navigate issues involving shared property, financial support, and parenting rights with care and clarity.

Our Services Include:

Guardian Ad Litem Representation

We provide Guardian Ad Litem services, offering the court an independent, child-focused perspective throughout the case.

Cohabitation and Relationship Agreements

We draft and review cohabitation and relationship agreements to help unmarried couples clearly define their financial and legal expectations.
