Family Law 101

One of the most common situations family law attorneys work with is divorce. When a couple divorces, there are many considerations that need to be accounted for, such as any assets, debts, or properties that are listed under both parties’ names. Determining what assets go to which person is rarely easy, especially in divorces where there may be bitter feelings involved. Family law attorneys serve as objective third parties to assist their clients in any negotiation and litigation required to fairly divvy up combined assets.

When a divorcing couple has children, the well-being of these children is a top priority for family law attorneys. Navigating child custody is often an emotionally charged affair that can complicate divorce proceedings significantly. This is because many different factors influence child custody rights as well as any visitation agreements, including the parents’ backgrounds.
