What is Family Law (part 2)?

As the name clearly suggests, family law is a field of law that deals directly with family issues.  While most commonly associated with divorce law, not all family law has to do with divorce.  Family law also deals with domestic violence issues, child custody and support. 

Even in the event when family law deals directly with divorce, the procedures often involve less painful techniques such as collaborative law and mediation, which helps mitigate this painful process.  A good family law attorney can provide guidance and lessen the painfulness of this process without driving you to the poor house.
