This is a very brief description of this area of Family law and should not be relied upon as applicable to your case. You should consult with an experienced attorney to determine proper action.

Family Law is a broad term often used to refer to the group of individual issues that relate to marriage and family and can be broken down into these main categories:

• Separation
• Domestic violence
• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Alimony
• Property division
• Divorce

When problems involving marriage and family arise, whether the parties can work things out themselves or whether they need assistance from a court, seeking the advice of an experienced family law attorney is an important first step.

These legal issues, while they might appear straight forward, can be extremely complex.
