Family Law

Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on matters related to family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, and domestic violence. It governs the legal aspects of familial relationships and addresses issues such as spousal support (alimony), division of property, child support, and the determination of parental rights and responsibilities.

Family law also includes cases involving paternity disputes, child protection and welfare (including child abuse or neglect), and the legalities surrounding domestic partnerships and civil unions. In family law, the primary goal is often to protect the best interests of children and ensure fairness in the distribution of marital assets when relationships break down.
