What is Family law?

Family law as the name implies is a body of law (statutes, Administration
rules and policy) that impact people related by blood, marriage, civil unions, domestic relations
or adoption. Some of the most common areas that encompass family law are:
1. Marriages, Divorce, civil unions, domestic partnerships.
2. Paternity, Child custody, child support.
3. Adoption.
4. Child neglect, guardianships.

Like most areas of law, Family law is not insulated from other areas of law and depending on the facts presented other areas of law such as probate, criminal, immigration, contract law, etc. may impact the outcome of a family law matter.
