Family law is a practice area that encompasses the legal issues that face families. These issues include:

• divorce and annulment
• child/spousal support and alimony
• surrogacy
• marriage, civil unions & domestic partnerships
• division of assets and liabilities due to divorce
• adoption
• termination of parental rights
• paternity
• custody
• dependency and child neglect
• protection from abuse

Family law often involves a number of complicated and emotionally charged issues, many of which require an outside mediator to resolve. It takes a committed and compassionate lawyer to provide guidance for families during these difficult times.  Even though the courts assist individuals in small ways during these types of family law issues, an objective and independent lawyer is often needed to help bring an equitable and just resolution to your problems.
