What is family law?

Family law is an area of law that deals with family-based issues.  The subjects within this field are actually quite numerous.  Family law includes everything from child custody and support, alimony, divorce, marriage, civil unions, adoption and domestic abuse. 

A good family lawyer can help a family through difficult times.  In fact, collaborative law can help a transition in family status occur without the need for a painful court process by focusing on group meetings and negotiations instead of pitting spouses against each other court.
