Family Law

The branch of law that deals with matters relating to the family, such as divorce and child custody.

Family law is a specialized area of law that focuses on legal issues and disputes arising within family relationships. It encompasses a wide range of matters involving marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, spousal support, domestic violence, and more. Family law aims to provide legal remedies and guidance to individuals and families navigating through these often complex and emotionally charged situations.

One of the primary objectives of family law is to establish legal frameworks for marriage and the dissolution of marriage. It governs the processes and requirements for marriage, including the creation and recognition of prenuptial agreements. In cases where a marriage is irretrievably broken, family law governs divorce proceedings, including the division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
