It is natural to assume divorce is in the family law category by itself. After all, it is a family lawyer’s job to help spouses legally separate from each other, and with 50% of all marriages ending in divorce, it is safe to assume lawyers like us do not have time to handle any cases beyond that. But that could not be further from the truth. Yes, divorce proceedings keep us busy, but family law is not only about divorce. It is a specialized area of civil litigation involving anything related to the family relationship.
What exactly does family law include? That is the topic of today’s blog post.
