Absolutely. At Woodford Sathappan McGee, we are proud to have a dynamic team of both male and female attorneys. However, we stand out as a female-led firm, which is a testament to our commitment to championing women’s rights. We understand that many women going through a divorce or custody case might feel more comfortable and prefer working with a female attorney.
Our female attorneys bring a wealth of personal and professional experiences to the table. For some, this includes the lived experience of motherhood—an intimate understanding of the love, challenges, and complexities that come with being a mother. This understanding can provide invaluable empathy and insight in cases involving child custody or support.
Moreover, some of our female attorneys are passionately committed to aiding victims of domestic violence. Their dedication, compassion, and relentless advocacy for justice make them powerful allies in navigating the legal intricacies of such delicate situations.
Every attorney on our team brings a unique perspective and vast experiences that can contribute greatly to your case. When you reach out to us, we carefully assess your situation and assign an attorney who we believe is best suited to your specific case and needs. This tailored approach ensures that you receive the most effective representation, with an advocate who truly understands your situation and can fight for your rights with the vigor and compassion you deserve.
The moment a woman becomes a Wife or a Mother, she is vested with powerful constitutional rights. The concept of gender equality is enshrined in case law and various court decisions. From the right to an equitable distribution of marital assets to the right to child custody, we are dedicated to upholding these rights in the court and safeguarding the interests of women and girls.
We provide legal help by educating women about their rights and the existing laws and regulations that protect them. This knowledge creates choices, leverage, and valuable peace of mind.
In a divorce, key decisions must be made regarding asset division, custody arrangements, child and spousal support, and more. The first step towards resolution is often negotiation, where an attorney’s role is crucial.
As your legal advocate, a divorce attorney from Woodford Sathappan McGee will represent your interests, communicating with your spouse’s legal counsel to craft an agreement that aligns with your needs and respects your rights. The attorney leverages their expertise in family law, their understanding of your specific circumstances, and negotiation skills to strive for the best possible outcome.
However, if negotiations reach an impasse, the path may lead to litigation. Here, your attorney’s role extends to presenting your case convincingly in court, marshaling evidence, and contesting any contrary claims. Our dedicated legal team is well-versed in both negotiation and courtroom advocacy, ensuring that you have comprehensive, expert support throughout your divorce process.
In the arena of family law, child custody cases can be one of the most emotionally charged issues. The best interests of the child are paramount, but women also have rights that must be protected in these circumstances. Our team is well-versed in the laws surrounding child custody and are prepared to advocate vigorously for the rights of women in these cases.
Custody battles can be intimidating, filled with fears and anxieties about the future of one’s children. The professional yet empathetic approach of our women lawyers, like Natalie McGee, can help ease the process, providing legal and emotional support to women during this stressful period. Natalie’s extensive experience with child-focused cases equips her to guide mothers effectively, helping them to communicate their concerns to the court and opposing counsel.
While we fiercely protect women’s rights, we also uphold the importance of co-parenting. We help women develop strategies to communicate and collaborate effectively with ex-spouses for the best outcomes for their children. Balancing the needs of the children with the rights of women requires an adept understanding of family law, and that’s where our expertise shines.
Another critical area of child custody we address is cases involving domestic violence or sexual violence. In these situations, our priority is to protect both the mother and the children from harm. We understand the laws and court processes around these sensitive issues and use this knowledge to fight for the rights of women and children.
Protecting women’s rights in child custody cases is a significant part of our work at Woodford Sathappan McGee. We strive to ensure that each woman we represent can navigate her case with strength, dignity, and a sense of security.
Divorce can significantly impact a woman’s financial stability. Woodford Sathappan McGee fully acknowledges this reality, and as such, we tirelessly advocate for women’s financial rights during divorce proceedings. Our focus is not just on reaching a fair settlement but also on ensuring women are set on a solid path towards their financial future after the divorce.
Retirement accounts and pensions are often one of the largest assets in a marriage. We work diligently to make sure that women’s rights to these assets are not overlooked or undervalued in the divorce process.
When it comes to marital home, we guide women to make informed decisions whether it is in their best interest to keep the marital home or move out. Each situation is unique and we evaluate multiple factors including financial implications, emotional attachment, and children’s welfare while giving advice.
We also address issues like healthcare, insurance, and debt division – all critical areas that can affect a woman’s financial wellbeing post-divorce.
Spousal support is another area where we protect women’s rights. While the laws regarding spousal support vary, our experienced attorneys know how to navigate these laws to ensure that women receive the financial support they are entitled to. Our understanding of case law, court precedents, and the intricacies of divorce law allows us to present persuasive arguments on behalf of our clients.
Our aim is to ensure that women emerge from their divorce with their financial rights respected and protected. This is part of our broader commitment to empowering women to build secure and independent lives after their divorce.
One of the most challenging issues we handle is high-asset divorce cases. These often involve complex financial matters like hidden assets, offshore accounts, business valuations, and intricate property division. We are skilled at identifying and properly valuing these assets, ensuring that they are included in the financial settlement and divided equitably.
Attorney Katie Woodford, with her extensive experience in high-conflict and high-asset divorce matters, understands the importance of a relentless discovery process in divorce proceedings. Assets can sometimes be hidden or misrepresented, and it’s crucial for a woman to receive her rightful share. In this regard, we believe that the law is not just about justice, it’s also about protecting women from financial harm and ensuring their future security.
At the core of our mission at Woodford Sathappan McGee is the fervent advocacy for women’s rights, particularly in circumstances involving domestic violence. Domestic violence is not only a grave violation of a woman’s rights but also a pervasive problem that can have devastating effects on her well-being and that of her children. Natalie McGee, one of our key attorneys, has dedicated her career to fighting against this injustice.
Natalie’s experience with the Franklin County Public Defender’s Office has provided her with deep insights into the intricacies of courtroom dynamics and the criminal justice system. This knowledge, coupled with her passion for defending women’s rights, makes her a formidable advocate for women facing domestic violence.
Being represented by Natalie means being backed by an attorney who understands the intricacies of domestic violence cases and is skilled in leveraging the legal system to protect her clients’ rights. Her advocacy extends beyond the courtroom as she understands that survivors of domestic violence often need more than just legal support—they need someone who can empathize with their situation, provide emotional reassurance, and connect them with resources that can help rebuild their lives.

Communication is key. Our attorneys ensure clients are informed every step of the way, providing them with a clear understanding of the law, their case, and the options available to them. Our mission is to empower women with knowledge, giving them the confidence to make informed decisions about their case.
The child support system is designed to ensure that both parents contribute financially to the child’s upbringing, regardless of the custody arrangement. Women, particularly those who are custodial parents, have a right to seek child support from the non-custodial parent. The amount of child support is typically determined by state-specific guidelines, considering factors like income of both parents, the child’s needs, and the amount of time each parent spends with the child.
After a divorce, circumstances may change that require adjustments to the initial divorce decree. These modifications could relate to child support, alimony, or child custody arrangements. Women have the right to request such modifications if they can demonstrate a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, relocation, or change in the child’s needs. A court will review these requests in light of the best interests of the child or the financial circumstances of the parties involved.
Contempt proceedings can be initiated if one party disobeys a court order, such as failing to pay child support or not adhering to custody agreements. Women have the right to seek enforcement of these orders through the courts. If the other party is found in contempt, they may face penalties such as fines, imprisonment, or both, and the court may also issue additional orders to ensure future compliance.
Women are protected by the court’s commitment to uphold and enforce its orders, and legal representation can provide further assurance that their rights are fully advocated for during these proceedings.
Throughout history, women’s rights have often been disregarded, but the legal landscape has evolved, recognizing the importance of protecting and advancing women’s rights. However, when faced with divorce or family law issues, it can be challenging to navigate the complexities of the law and safeguard these rights. This is where Woodford Sathappan McGee steps in.
