What does family law constitute?

Family law revolves around dealing with legal issues that arise within a family, whether that family is made up two people or twenty. While most people think family law is synonymous with divorce and child support, this area of law covers so much more.

Other legal issues that are dealt with by family law practitioners, such as Jackson Law Firm, include:

• Prenuptial agreements
• Adoptions
• Guardianships
• Grandparents rights
• Name changes
• Custody agreements
• Surrogate mother agreements
• Estate planning
• Domestic violence
• Annulments

Family law is a specialized field of practice because the attorneys must deal with sensitive issues that often affect children and people in emotional turmoil who are dealing with broken trust issues. They are charged with taking the emotional aspect of the situation out of the situation and replacing it with legal precedent that can lead to a winning case that leaves you able to move on with your life.

Not all family law cases end up in court. Many actions can be settled out of court, provided everyone involved is agreeable to the terms. Out of court settlements must still be approved by the court, but you save time and cost involved in a trial.

If you find yourself in need of an attorney who specializes in family law, Call Jackson Law Firm for a consultation. Jackson will analyze your unique situation and recommend the best course of action for you.
