Triplett & Triplett PLLC – Compassionate Legal Help for Divorce, Custody, and Adoption

Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce is often a difficult and life-changing event. Our experienced Elkins divorce attorneys work closely with you to understand your unique situation and guide you through the legal process with care. We help you resolve issues such as property division, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and, where necessary, represent your interests in court to ensure fair outcomes.



We strive to minimize conflict and protect your emotional and financial well-being throughout the divorce process. With Triplett & Triplett by your side, you gain a knowledgeable advocate who fights for your rights while offering compassionate support.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

When it comes to child custody and parenting time, the best interests of the child are the paramount consideration under West Virginia law. Courts generally favor arrangements that encourage continuing contact with both parents when it is safe and appropriate.

Our attorneys assist parents in negotiating custody agreements that provide stability, emotional security, and continuity for children. If circumstances change, such as relocation or remarriage, we also help clients seek modifications to existing custody and parenting time orders to better reflect the family’s current needs.

We understand how critical quality time and parental involvement are to your child’s growth and well-being, and we advocate zealously for fair parenting plans.

Adoption and Guardianship

Welcoming a child into your family through adoption or guardianship is a joyful but legally complex process. At Triplett & Triplett, we help families establish permanent, legal relationships with the children they care for.

Our adoption services guide you through the entire process—from meeting residency and custody requirements to filing petitions in circuit court. For guardianship matters, we assist individuals who seek to protect children when parents are unable to do so due to neglect, incapacity, or other challenges.

We are proud to help clients provide children with the stability and permanency they deserve.

Child Support and Spousal Support

Providing financial support for children and spouses is a fundamental component of family law. Our attorneys assist clients in establishing and modifying child support orders according to West Virginia’s statutory guidelines, ensuring that your child’s needs are met fairly.

In matters of spousal support, we offer strategic counsel to those seeking alimony as well as to those defending against unreasonable support claims. We carefully evaluate your financial circumstances and legal options to pursue fair arrangements that support your long-term financial security.

Domestic Violence Protective Orders

If you or your family members face domestic violence or abuse, our firm provides compassionate representation to help you obtain protective orders. We understand the urgency and sensitivity of these cases and work to safeguard your safety and rights.

Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Whenever possible, Triplett & Triplett encourages mediation and alternative dispute resolution to help families reach amicable agreements outside of court. Mediation can reduce stress, save time, and cut legal costs while allowing parties to maintain greater control over outcomes.

Our experienced attorneys facilitate these processes to help you find common ground and preserve relationships.
