      Often referred to as “Family Law,” Domestic Relations is an area of the law like no other in that it involves intense emotion. Only an attorney and staff who has expertise and varied experience representing men and woman in all circumstances can help cut through the anger, sadness, fear and financial insecurity and provide comprehensive, compassionate and sensible representation.

    Just about anyone can start a family on their own, but certain procedures affecting the responsibility of family life must be pursued in court. While matters of the heart are very personal, the rights of same-sex couples to get married, laws regarding divorce, and the process of adopting a child are governed by state and federal laws. "Family Law", therefore, refers to rules, regulations and court procedures involving the family unit. While some family law matters may be handled without counsel, processes such as divorce and child custody often require the skill and expertise of a proficient attorney.

As with most other areas of law, whether you need a family law attorney depends on a number of factors specific to your case. For example, a couple generally won't need a lawyer to get married, but attorney's may be required if one party asks the other to sign a prenuptial agreement.

 

Individuals often benefit from hiring an attorney when dealing with divorce, child support and especially child custody matters. Emotions can run high during some divorces, hiring an attorney for their legal knowledge and skills, as well as to negotiate with other parties to resolve difficult issues can become invaluable.
