Family Court Litigation
Family court litigations refer to legal disputes and proceedings that take place in a specialized court system known as family court. These courts handle cases related to family and domestic matters, including issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), paternity, adoption, guardianship, and domestic violence restraining orders. Family court litigations are typically initiated when individuals or parties involved in a family dispute cannot reach a resolution through informal means or alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation or negotiation.

Here are some common types of family court litigations:
- Divorce: When a married couple decides to legally end their marriage, they file for divorce in family court. The court addresses issues such as property division, spousal support, and child custody and support if applicable.
- Child Custody and Visitation: Parents who cannot agree on custody and visitation arrangements for their children may turn to family court to make determinations based on the best interests of the child.
- Child Support: Family court can establish or modify child support orders to ensure that a noncustodial parent contributes financially to the upbringing of their children.
- Spousal Support (Alimony): In cases where one spouse may be entitled to financial support from the other after divorce or separation, family court can determine the amount and duration of spousal support.
- Paternity: Family court can establish legal paternity when there is a dispute or uncertainty about a child’s biological father, which can have implications for child custody and support.
- Adoption: Adoption proceedings are typically handled in family court to legally establish a parent-child relationship between the adoptive parents and the child.
- Guardianship: Family court may appoint a legal guardian to care for a minor child or an incapacitated adult who cannot make decisions for themselves.
