Erika and Karl Kolenich were always available to answer any questions I had and to reassure me when I needed it. Heather Epperheart checked on me monthly to see if there was anything that I needed.

I could not recommend Sarah Smith enough! What her and her team did for me and my family was incredible. They communicated so well and kept me up to date with everything that happened in the case! She was so supportive and passionate about this case and I couldn’t thank her enough.
Just hired them not even a month ago and so far they have did more work for my case and got it going further than my last attorney has in two years. I have also had more meetings and communication Along with explanations of the law and things in my case, all questions answered, and every document sent to me with them than my previous attorney less than two months versus two years!!!!
Every single person that I’ve spoke with has been extremely kind and professional. Thank you Iris for connecting me with Michele, she was extremely pleasant and helpful. I believe this process should be smooth and hopefully easy to get through.
Klie Law Offices has been an invaluable partner to me in a variety of legal matters, including family law cases, business strategy, and personal injury. Erika and Karl, along with their entire team, have guided me through some of the most challenging times with professionalism and care. They are always responsive and reliable, ensuring that calls and emails are returned promptly and that I am kept informed every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their empathy, which is often hard to find in the legal field. I am consistently impressed by their sense of urgency, strategic approach, and dedication to providing top-notch service. I highly recommend Klie Law Offices to anyone in need of legal support.
Having problems and they guided me so far on what needs to be done. Definitely would refer them to anyone in a hostile/discriminatory environment
I'm not the easiest man in the world to deal with. So far they've shown me how patient they can be. I've asked a lot of questions and have sent them many documents via text and app. Some of my questions haven't exactly been within the realm of my case, but after a short period of time, they still respond, and steer me in the right direction. Even after I think I've pushed a little too hard, they still respond to let me.know they have my back.
From the moment i reached out to them till the moment we finished my issues, they were not only helpful but they explained everything. When I say I ask questions about everything I really do. I’d never been involved with anything like this before and not only did they explain everything they held my hand while we went thru all the ups and downs of this court case. No woman should be in the position I was in and I only hope every woman in WV who is goes to them for help. I can stand confident to know that they have our best interests at heart. My case lasted almost two years to get done and settled and they not only did it with grace but also with dignity. Then I had to make it difficult on them and moved back to Florida and it was like nothing had happened they still kept in constant communication providing me updates along the way the entire time. If I ever have anything like this come up they will always be my first choice to represent me. Thank you guys for all the hard work and dedication that you have given me.

Klie Law Office F.A.Q
1. What is the process for filing for divorce in West Virginia?
To file for divorce in West Virginia, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least one year before filing. You can file based on fault (e.g., adultery, cruelty, abandonment) or no-fault grounds, such as irreconcilable differences or voluntary separation for one year.
2. How is child custody determined in West Virginia?
Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, stability, each parent’s ability to provide care, and the child’s preferences (if mature enough). Joint custody is common, but the arrangement depends on the specific circumstances.
3. How does West Virginia handle property division in a divorce?
West Virginia is an equitable distribution state. This means marital property (assets acquired during the marriage) is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. Separate property (owned before the marriage or received as a gift/inheritance) is typically excluded from division.
4. How is child support calculated in West Virginia?
Child support is determined using state guidelines that consider both parents’ incomes, the custody arrangement, the number of children, and additional expenses such as healthcare and education. Courts may deviate from the guidelines if circumstances warrant.
5. Can I modify a child custody or support order in West Virginia?
Yes, you can request a modification if there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant change in income, relocation, or the needs of the child. A family lawyer can help you file the appropriate petition and advocate for your position.
