What Is Family Law?

When you get married or have a child, you must sign legal documents. If any issues arise within these relationships, the documents may have to change. Family law is the field in which these changes take place. The changes also take place in a special court, known as family court. Family law attorneys, judges, and other professionals work within this field.

A good family lawyer will be compassionate about your situation and help you get through legal processes such as divorce, adoption, and child custody. Family courts always act in the best interests of children, but they can also help couples without children divide property or help establish legal parentage via paternity suits and other processes.

Family law can also intersect with other practice areas, including criminal defense in domestic violence and child abuse cases, estate planning, immigration, and even business law.
