FAMILY LAW is the name that courts and attorneys have come to use to categorize the group of cases that include CUSTODY, SUPPORT, and DIVORCE. It is not a particularly accurate term. A more realistic term would be, “wounded family law” or perhaps, “family problems law.” If you have this kind of case, we can help.
CUSTODY cases involve how much time each parent gets to spend with their child(ren).
SUPPORT cases involve how much money one parent will pay to the other parent (or in some cases to a separated spouse).
Each type of case is treated independently by the law. The practical reality, though, is that all three are related and it is likely that one will influence another at some point in the process. We know this, we expect it, and we take that practical reality into account.
Please note: Sometimes a family law (divorce, custody, support) petition doesn't mean exactly what it says. Sometimes it is a communication like the old naval “shot across the bow” or a plea for attention and/or empathy. If you receive what you believe to be this kind of petition or if you are still trying to save your marriage (but your spouse maybe is not), you may wish to consult us, immediately. We have developed several techniques specifically for the client who is in this kind of situation. We will gladly work to help you preserve your options, as much as is possible, if that is your desire.
