Comprehensive Family Law Services for Alabama Families

Family legal issues are rarely one-size-fits-all. That’s why Burnett Law provides a full range of family law services to meet the needs of clients in Baldwin County and across Alabama. Whether you are seeking to end a marriage, protect your parental rights, or secure a better future for your child, we can help you take the right legal steps.

We handle contested and uncontested divorce, helping clients divide property, manage spousal support (alimony), and resolve emotionally charged disputes with professionalism. We also advocate for clients in high-conflict custody battles, including cases involving relocation, parental alienation, or safety concerns. If you’re seeking to modify or enforce an existing custody or support order, our firm can guide you through the process and pursue the outcome you need.

In addition to traditional divorce and custody cases, Burnett Law handles juvenile court proceedings, including DHR involvement and dependency cases where the state seeks to intervene in parental rights. If you believe your child has been taken by DHR without due process or just cause, we will fight to protect your family and hold government actors accountable. We also represent clients in adoption, grandparent visitation cases, and petitions for protection from abuse (PFA orders) in cases involving domestic violence or threats.
