General Information about Family Law
Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations which include, but are not limited to:
- The nature of marriage, domestic partnerships, civil unions;
- Issues that may arise during marriage such as spousal abuse, child abuse, child abduction, adoption, legitimacy, surrogacy, adultery and bigamy;
- The termination of the relationship and such matters including divorce, annulment, property distributions, alimony and child custody, visitation and child support awards.
Family law rules relate to both relationships between family members as well as a family and society. Family law reflects shared values by society pertaining to how people who are related should treat one another. Family law attorneys can assist people with prenuptial agreements, divorce, paternity, child custody and child support, and in some instances, adoption. When you are faced with an important decision pertaining to a family relationship, seek the legal advice of one of our experienced attorneys.
