FAMILY LAW

Family law is the body of laws and cases that control legally responsible ties among persons sharing a domestic connection. Usually, the cases involve parties who are related by marriage or blood; however, family law can also be operational over persons in casual or distant relationships. Because of the emotions always involved in family law cases, litigants are usually advised to hire legal counsel.

The bulk of family law cases arise from the termination of a romantic relationship or marriage. A family law attorney is a trained lawyer who specializes in the family law and all case precedents. As a result, a family law attorney helps clients file for divorce or separation, alimony, child custody, visitation, and support.

While many couples remained married until death, many couples who married a short time seek an annulment because things don’t work out for them. As a result of the crisis in the marriage that made the couples ask for an annulment, the spouses need an experienced lawyer to guide them through this emotional situation and begin new lives.

Family issues always involve a lot of emotions; as a result, when selecting a divorce lawyer, it is best to choose a lawyer who is knowledgeable in the family law and also understands what you are passing through. A good divorce lawyer will try as much as possible to seek cooperation from the other spouse’s lawyer to handle the situation with minimal or no confrontation, particularly when kids are involved.

Most family law issues, especially divorce are very sensitive and are most likely to affect children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents.

Family law is a very comprehensive law as it embodies laws relating to:

  1. Divorce, Legal Separation, Annulment
  2. Alimony
  3. Child custody
  4. Child support
  5. Adoptions (stepparents, Agencies)
  6. Domestic Abuse
  7. Visitation Rights (Grandparents and parents)
  8. Enforcement (Income Assignments, Contempt of court, Judgements)
  9. Marital Property Division
  10. Marital Agreements
  11. Paternity Tests and more

If you are facing hardships in your marriage and you are considering divorce as the only option, you should hire an experienced lawyer who understands family law and its intricacies for the following reasons:

  1. You are not familiar with the matrimonial law or the family court
  2. You need objective advice to overrule your emotions
  3. You need to be given options, even those you are not aware of
  4. You require professional services with regard to the necessary paperwork.

 

DIVORCE LAW

Divorce is the official dissolution or termination of a marriage or marital relationship following a legal process. Divorce law is a branch of family law that governs the dissolution of a marriage and other related issues.

Divorce law covers the division of property, child custody. Alimony, and child support. As a result, it is best that estranged spouses hire family lawyers who have in-depth knowledge and experience in divorce and related issues, and above all, a good mastery of the family law.

Hiring a qualified divorce attorney will ensure a smooth divorce procedure that will make all parties happy and not impact the children negatively, especially if there are toddlers and under-aged children who are too young to understand what is going on.
