Family Law Courts handle areas of the law involving family-related issues and domestic relations including, but not limited to:

• the legally sanctioned marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships;

• issues arising during marriage, including spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse, and child abduction, which can result in criminal charges.

• the termination of the relationship and ancillary matters including divorce, annulment, property settlements, alimony, and parental responsibility orders such as guardianship, child custody and visitation, and child support awards.

• the use of alternative solutions to the no longer favored adversarial divorce proceeding such as alernative dispute resolution: family mediations, and cooperative and Collaborative Divorce. 

This list by no means represents all of the potential issues that come through the family court system.  Should you find yourself needing legal representation, Our Firm is dedicated to guiding you and your family through what can be a very dificult time. Contact me to make an appointment for a consultaton to discuss your case.

In many jurisdictions in the United States, the family courts' dockets are overwhelmingly large. Because the family courts are notoriously under funded and see a relatively large proportion of the economically strapped, a common criticism levied is that the system inherently prejudices the needs of these disadvantaged parties.  If you find that you cannot afford a private attorney, contact: Brevard Legal Aid
