Examples of Family Law Matters

Family law refers to a branch of legal practice that deals with matters related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, adoptions, surrogacy, cohabitation agreements, and more. It encompasses a wide range of legal issues that arise within the context of families.

Some examples of common family law cases include: 

• Marriage and Divorce: Family law governs the legal aspects of marriage, including prenuptial agreements, marriage licenses, and annulments. In the event of a divorce, family law addresses the division of assets, alimony (spousal support), child custody, and visitation rights.
• Child Custody and Support: Family law establishes guidelines for determining child custody in cases of separation or divorce. It also covers child support obligations, ensuring that children receive financial support from both parents.
• Spousal Support: Spousal support, also known as alimony or maintenance, involves one spouse providing financial assistance to the other after separation or divorce. Family law sets guidelines for determining the amount and duration of spousal support.
• Adoptions and Surrogacy: Family law governs the legal processes involved in adopting a child, ensuring that prospective parents meet all necessary requirements. Additionally, it addresses legal aspects of surrogacy arrangements, protecting the rights of intended parents and surrogate mothers.

Family law also encompasses matters related to domestic violence and protective orders (restraining orders).
