Types of Family Law
Mediation Services
Mediation is a process where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps people involved in a family dispute work together to reach an agreement. This method is often used in cases such as divorce, child custody arrangements, parenting plans, or property division. Mediation offers an alternative to going to court, allowing families to resolve their issues in a less adversarial and more cooperative environment.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement, also known as a premarital agreement or “prenup,” is a legal contract entered into by two individuals before they get married. The agreement typically outlines the rights and responsibilities of each spouse in the event of the ending of a marriage or the death of one spouse.
Divorce & Separation
There are several legal ways to end a marriage, including: Divorces, Annulments, Legal Separations, Mediation, Collaborative Divorces, and more. Each marriage is unique, and the best option to choose varies on a case-by-case basis.
Child Custody & Support
Child custody involves evaluating the best interests of the child (or children), considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the child’s home environment, and the child’s overall well-being.
Contempt Orders
In Family Law, a contempt order is a court order that holds a person in contempt of court for failing to comply with a previous court order, such as a child custody or support order. The purpose of a contempt order is to enforce compliance with court orders and to maintain the authority of the court.
Non-Marital Relationships
Non-marital relationships can vary greatly, but they all involve people who are not legally married to each other. These can include relationships between people who are dating or living together but have not tied the knot.
