Family Law

Family law also known as law of domestic relations as well as Matrimonial Law is an area of law that practices dealing with family relationships. It addresses marriage and divorce issues as well as treatment of children and other domestic economic matters. Our primary legal practice focuses on the issues involving family relationships such as adoption, divorce, child custody and nominees.

The following is a primer on our list of family Law areas of expertise:

Prenuptial Agreement:  This is a process in which an agreement is crafted between a woman and a man before they are married in which they give up future rights on each other’s property in the course of divorce or in the event of death of either partner involved in the agreement.

Alimony: In this agreement, an allowance is considered to one partner or the other during the course of nuptial continuity in the event of legal separation or divorce. This allowance offers support and financial assistance to the concerned party.

Paternity: This is broadly speaking a process to confirm and establish the identity of a child’s biological father, his origin and descent.

Marital Property: This term relates to the property acquired by either spouse during the onset of marriage that is subject to diversification upon the establishment of divorce.

Emancipation:  this is a court procedure via which a minor is entitled to become self-supporting and takes on the responsibility as an adult of his or her welfare without any parental control or interference.

Family law is often segregated and intersected with a wide range of other legal procedures and sub procedures. This may include instances of domestic violence and child abuse as well as other criminal investigations within the same (inclusive of arrests and other charges). Family courts are often tasked with the protection of victims and ensuring a healthy and positively safe environment at home.
