Family Law
Family law is a legal area that addresses issues related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. It encompasses prenuptial agreements, which are contracts signed before marriage to outline asset division in case of divorce, as well as the processes of annulment and legal separation. Child custody and support are critical aspects, determining the care and financial support of children post-divorce. Family law also covers adoption procedures, allowing individuals to become legal parents of non-biological children, and provides legal protections against domestic violence through protective and restraining orders. Additionally, It involves the equitable distribution of marital property and the provision of spousal support, known as alimony, to help maintain the standard of living after divorce.
If parents have separated or divorced and their children live all or most of the time with one of the parents, the other parent is usually responsible to pay child support to help provide for the children. The amount of child support will generally depend on how many children are being supported and the amount of money being earned by the parent paying the child support. Payments, from the parent who does not have custody to the parent who does, are usually made through a government office and sometimes directly from the one parent to the other.
