Family Law
What is Family Law?
Family law is a branch of legal practice that focuses on issues related to family relationships, such as divorce, guardianship, parental responsibilities, parenting time, adoption, and property & debt division.
A family lawyer specializes in helping individuals navigate these often complex and emotionally charged matters. Whether you are going through a separation or need assistance with prenuptial agreements, a family lawyer provides legal support and works to ensure that your rights and interests are protected during difficult transitions. Their, and our, goal is to help clients reach fair and effective solutions while minimizing conflict.
Do You Have a Family Law Claim?
Determining whether your claim falls under family law typically depends on the nature of the issue you are facing. Family law covers a range of matters, including marriage, divorce, guardianship, parental responsibilities, parenting time, spousal support, adoption, and property & debt division. If your legal concern involves any of these areas, you may have a family law claim.
When making a claim, it's essential to understand the specific process for filing in family court, which can vary depending on the issue. A family lawyer can help clarify your situation, guide you through legal procedures, prepare the necessary documents, and represent your interests in court to ensure the best possible outcome.

“[I] had a very good experience with Abby over a case that lasted a few years. She was attentive and took time to explain to me any issues and items I didn’t understand whenever I had questions. I could also count on her to give recommendations on what was the best course of action to take. I felt I could trust her to help me get through the case. [I] would use her again.”
