What is Family Law?

Family law focuses on issues that involve family relationships. This includes marriage, adoption, divorce, child custody, and other areas that affect your family. Because family law often involves strong emotions, it's important to trust a compassionate and experienced professional with the knowledge to help you achieve a fair outcome. The most common reasons people hire a family law attorney include:

• Divorce: Each spouse hires their own attorney in a divorce to help devise a settlement plan and avoid a trial. Our family lawyer will help divide marital property, calculate spousal support, and help make a child custody and support plan if necessary.
• Child Custody or Support: If you need to change or update a child custody or support agreement, a family lawyer can help you. Agreements might need to be adjusted if a parent's employment status changes, if a parent gets remarried, or if one of the parents plans to move out of the area.
• Paternity: If you are a mother who needs to file for child support from an absent father, filing for paternity will be necessary. In other cases, biological fathers file for paternity in order to have a relationship with their child. Paternity is legally established through DNA testing.
• Adoption: Adoption is a complex process that will require different steps depending on where the child is from, local and state laws, and other factors. It's vital to consult a family law attorney to make sure everything happens through the proper legal channels.
• Juvenile Crime: If a child has been charged with a crime and is not old enough to be tried as an adult, we can provide defense services.

Family law matters differ depending on the state and community. It's important to trust a seasoned local professional with your case. The team at JW Anderson Law Firm will review your situation, provide experienced advice, and guide you through the next steps. We will advocate to protect your interests every step of the way.
