Many people never have to learn more about family law. Others, however, find themselves entangled in a variety of details, ranging from divorce to child support to child guardianship.
Divorce and separation, for example, is one area of family law that comes to the forefront on a regular basis. Every year, thousands of couples decide to put their marriage in the past and move forward with divorce. When this happens, additional family law matters need to be discussed, including:
- Spousal support
- Division of property
- Estate planning issues
- Collaborative divorce and divorce mediation
- Same-sex marriage
If you have a child with your soon-to-be former partner, it is even more important to understand the many sides of family law. When parents divorce, children are often the ones who are impacted the most. As a parent, you will want to learn more about:
- Paternity claims
- Child guardianship and access
- Child support
- Third party rights
- Mobility issues
- Variation and enforcement of orders
Our lawyers know family law inside and out. That being said, no two people are in the same position. Just because you are going through divorce, for instance, does not mean it will be the same as the next person faced with a split.
Family law covers a variety of circumstances, and it would be in your best interest to have a sound grasp of the finer details associated with each aspect. For more information and advice, visit our “Family Law Information” webpage as well as our blog.
