Family law is the portion of the law that covers family and familial matters. There are a variety of things family law attorneys can help you with including divorce, paternity, parental rights, child custody and child support. If you are dealing with one of these issues you may need a family law attorney.
Divorce
When you are going through a divorce you may need an attorney to help you settle the division of assets. Divorces are often turbulent and many couples do not agree nor do they want to sit down and talk it out amongst themselves. Having a good attorney will allow you to have someone on your side to fight for you while keeping things civil. They will also make sure everything is done properly and according to the law so you don’t run into issues down the road.
Paternity
When trying to prove or disprove the paternity of a child, a family law attorney can help you with the legal side of things. We will ensure things go smoothly and by the book. It can also be very helpful for parents who are not communicative and need a third party to work through it with them
Parental Rights
Whether you’re fighting for your parental rights or trying to have parental rights revoked from one or both parents of a child, you will most likely need a family law attorney involved. Parental rights may come into play if one or both parents are absent or unfit or if the child is being adopted.
Child Custody
Another time you should have a family law attorney is when dealing with child custody. This may be the result of a divorce or a part of a paternity case. Regardless of why you are dealing with the issue of child custody, it is smart to have someone on your side to help you get the best outcome possible.
Child Support
Similarly to child custody, you will want a family law attorney to help you sort out your child support. Having an attorney will ensure that proper payment is given and a plan is set in place.
