Family Law
Family law is the branch of law that deals with family relationships. It includes the formation of family relationships as well as the dissolution of those relationships through divorce and the termination of parental rights. Adoption, contested custody of children, and the resulting child support obligations are all covered by family law. Family law, as the practice of law relating to relationships and children, can be one of the most emotional areas of law. Family lawyers are intimately involved in their clients' lives.
