Legal Issues That Affect Your Family
When most people hear “family law,” they immediately think of divorce. Of course, divorce cases make up a large part of a family law practice, but we also handle many other legal issues, such as:
- Domestic violence and orders of protection – Violence in the home is a serious issue. If you need help protecting you or your children, we are here for you.
- Paternity matters – When you need to formalize the relationship between father and child outside of a marriage, you will need a paternity action.
- Prenuptial agreements – Many people choose to create an agreement regarding their finances before marriage to prevent problems down the road.
- Disputes over embryos – We have extensive experience dealing with the difficult questions involving Assisted Reproduction matters and frozen embryos in divorce and custody situations.
- Custody matters – Defining a parent’s or other family member’s rights and responsibilities related to a child including visitation, parenting time, and decision-making.
