Our divorce and child custody lawyers have battle-tested experience in all aspects of family law.
Family law is personal. We bring courtroom experience, clear communication, and genuine care to every case we take.
Every attorney on our team works in family law exclusively, so your case never competes for attention with other matters.
No legal jargon, no surprises. We walk you through the strategy before we execute it, so you stay in control.
We have spent years inside North Alabama family courts, and that local knowledge shapes how we prepare every case.
Protecting What Matters
Few topics cause more anxiety than the money side of a custody case. How is child support calculated? Who pays for childcare, insurance, and extracurriculars? What happens when a parent’s income changes? We help Alabama families understand exactly how the guidelines apply to their situation, and where there is room to negotiate.

At Foxtrot Family Law, we believe in empowering clients to make more informed decisions about their futures. We deliver tailored guidance and personalized legal strategies that align with your goals.

Areas We ServeFamily Lawyer in Huntsville, Alabama
Choosing a family lawyer in Alabama is one of the most important decisions you will make during a custody dispute, divorce, or DHR investigation. The attorney you hire will directly affect how your case moves through the court system and, ultimately, how it ends. Foxtrot Family Law serves families across Huntsville, Madison County, and throughout Alabama with a level of focus and experience that sets us apart.
Many law firms spread their attention across personal injury, criminal defense, and real estate. Foxtrot Family Law does not. Every case we take involves family law, from child custody and divorce cases to DHR defense and adoptions. That singular focus means our attorneys and staff work inside Alabama’s family courts daily, building familiarity with local judges, procedures, and case strategies that a general practice firm cannot match.
Managing Partner Stephen Williams has been practicing law since 2010 and has personally handled more than 1,700 family law cases. That volume of experience matters because family law is unpredictable. Custody disputes escalate, settlement talks break down, and DHR investigations move quickly. Stephen holds both a J.D. and an MBA from the University of Alabama, which strengthens his ability to handle property division, high net worth divorce, and support calculations involving complicated financial details.
Results matter more than promises. Our firm has secured increased child support awards and enforced arrearage payments through income withholding orders. We have achieved full dismissals of DHR actions where the evidence did not support the allegations, preserving our clients’ parental rights. Alabama families trust us because we deliver outcomes, not just reassurance.
Foxtrot Family Law represents mothers, fathers, grandparents, and step-parents. We handle custody disputes for parents fighting to stay in their children’s lives and for grandparents seeking visitation or custody rights. We represent both payors and recipients of child support, and we defend parents and guardians facing DHR actions. Whatever your role in the dispute, we have the experience to advocate for your position.
Stephen Williams is a member of the American Bar Association’s Family Law Section and the Huntsville-Madison County Bar Association. He previously served as President of the Marshall County Bar Association and has been recognized by the Madison County Volunteer Lawyers Program for his pro bono contributions. When you work with a Madison County family lawyer who is connected to the local legal community, you benefit from those relationships and that reputation.
Your family law case deserves an attorney who handles these matters full-time, has the courtroom experience to back it up, and has deep roots in the Alabama legal community. Foxtrot Family Law was built for exactly this kind of work. Book a risk-free assessment today to talk through your options with our team.
Foxtrot Family Law was built around a simple idea: family law clients deserve attorneys who actually listen, plan strategically, and fight when it matters most.
