When you're in a situation where you need a lawyer, you can be really confused about where to start. There are family lawyers, divorce lawyers, accident lawyers and many other types of lawyers. Because of this, it can be difficult to figure out what type of lawyer you need. To help you, you need to learn about each type of attorney and what they specialize in.
So, what do family lawyers do?
The most common work that family lawyers do is to focus on divorce.
- Divorce or Mediation
- Division of marital property
- Child custody
- Child support
- Alimony
They also look into the safety of the parties before the divorce.
- Prenuptial agreement
- Post marriage agreement
Family lawyers also deal with children.
- Conservatorship (and setting up funds to care for your children after you're gone)
- Adoption
- Child abuse and neglect
They may also deal with juvenile delinquency.
If you are thinking of getting a divorce, you will need to see a family law attorney. He or she can help you through the entire process, from dividing your assets to coming up with a child custody solution that works for everyone.
A family lawyer is also someone you should go to if you want to protect yourself if you get divorced. They will write a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement for you. Once you have children, you should think about talking to an attorney about setting up a guardianship. They can also help you if you decide to adopt a child.
