Money well spent!
Justin stuck with me through a 5.5-year high-conflict divorce saga. I was worried a lawyer wouldn't understand what I was dealing with, but he picked up on the issues very quickly and worked to shield me from all the theatrics. We talked through every filing and he made sure I understood exactly what was happening and all the potential outcomes of my case. He's been doing this for a long time and has seen just about everything - especially after my case. Money well spent!
Michelle Daniels
The Attorney Was Knowledgeable and Polite
My experience is only with a consultation, but the attorney was knowledgeable, polite, and provided me with some great information. Probably would have hired him but ended up handling my case on my own.

Grateful to God for Justin
As unfortunate as it is to need such services, I am so grateful to God for Justin. I wasn’t even sure what to ask him, but after he asked me some questions to gain some understanding of my situation and where I was at in the process, he provided a lot of useful information as to what to expect during my hearing. One thing took me by surprise and I would’ve most likely been upset during the hearing had I not known it was coming, thanks to him. Having done my own research prior, regarding my case, it was extremely comforting and reassuring to hear him affirm many things I had just researched, learned, or already completed in preparation for the hearing. Justin was also very transparent about costs, and I was so appreciative. Before ending our time, he ensured I had no other questions for him. Mahalo nui, Justin! I went from uncertain and anxious about my hearing to confident and worry-free. Praise the Lord!

Compassionate Guidance for Visitation Rights
I've been searching for a law firm that would compassionately show me where to start in my visitation rights in the State of Hawaii. God directed me to Justin, of the Smith & Sturdivant Law Firm. I would really recommend his law firm to anyone that is seeking counsel or advice for your visitation rights here in Hawaii. May God bless Justin and his entire law firm.

Mr. Justin Sturdivant helped me on his own time and without his help I wouldn't have been able to file or follow the required paperwork needed for family court.

Compassionate and Skilled Attorneys
After meeting with several attorneys, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure if I'd find the right one for me. Then I met Daniel. Both Daniel and Justin were clear, supportive, and truly cared about my situation. They didn't just watch the clock—they listened and helped. I’m very detailed and organized, and I was really impressed with how they managed my case. Although I ended up not going through with the divorce, I couldn’t be more thankful for their support. If you’re looking for compassionate and skilled attorneys, look no further than Daniel and Justin!

Patient, Professional, Proficient. That is how I would describe the entire staff at Smith & Sturdivant.

Yes, spousal support can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This might include changes in income, employment status, or financial needs. Either party can request a modification, but they must provide evidence to support the change. A court will review the evidence to determine if an adjustment to the support order is justified.
Is spousal support affected by remarriage?
Yes, spousal support is often terminated if the recipient remarries. This is based on the assumption that the financial needs of the recipient will change with their new marital status. It is important to notify the court of any such changes to ensure compliance with the support order and prevent future legal complications.
Can I waive spousal support?
Yes, spousal support rights can be waived, typically through a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Both parties must agree to the waiver in writing, and the agreement must be deemed fair and entered into voluntarily by both parties. It is beneficial to have legal representation during this process to ensure that your rights are protected and the agreement is enforceable.
What is spousal support?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial payment from one spouse to another after separation or divorce. Its purpose is to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a similar standard of living to that enjoyed during the marriage. The amount and duration depend on various factors, including the length of the marriage and the needs and financial resources of each party.
