What Is Family Law?

Family law is a unique area of civil litigation that requires specific knowledge and skill to protect your rights. While you likely would not ask a family law attorney to represent you in a criminal matter, you should seek the professional advice of a family law attorney for a family law issue.

Family law is a branch of the legal system that addresses issues related to family relationships. For example, child support, child custody, and divorce are three of the most well-known areas of family law.

Family law attorneys are often involved in very personal areas of their clients’ lives. You must be comfortable sharing some of the most intimate details about your marriage, child custody, or paternity tests with the person you choose to be your lawyer.

We encourage prospective clients to sit down with Mr. Mansfield to learn about their legal rights and the remedies that may be available to them. It also gives the prospective clients a chance to determine whether retaining Mr. Mansfield as their attorney is the best option for them.

Why You Need a Family Law Attorney

A family law attorney can help you make big decisions and protect your legal rights. During a divorce, it is essential to protect your children and give them the options that serve their best interests. A family law attorney can work to secure the custody and support agreement that is best for you and your child while protecting your rights in court.

When a marriage is dissolved, there may have been prenuptial or postnuptial agreements in place which must be addressed. These documents detail how the marital property will be split during a divorce. However, in some circumstances, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be broken. An experienced family law attorney would know about those circumstances and could determine whether they apply in your situation.

Spousal support must also be addressed during a divorce. There are a variety of factors that go into how support is determined. However, unless you are being represented by an experienced family law attorney, your rights may not be protected. Hiring an experienced attorney to represent you can help protect your financial security and can often end up saving you money in the long run.

Once a judgment for divorce has been entered, there may need to be modifications to spousal support, child support, or parenting time. In situations like these, an experienced family law attorney will know how to get those modifications taken care of and could provide you with the support you need.

In some cases, you may be tempted to take care of your legal issues on your own. This can, unfortunately, cost you more money and heartache in the long run. A qualified family law attorney can offer you objective advice on the legal steps you are taking.

For example, in the case of a divorce, a family law attorney may recommend avoiding a quick resolution that leaves you at a financial or parenting disadvantage. While some family law matters begin amicably, they don’t all end that way.

Mr. Mansfield has courtroom experience and has spent a significant portion of his career arguing for the rights of his clients. Additionally, he can offer alternatives to litigation appropriate for his client’s circumstances. This can save time and money.
