Family Law

Family Law

Family law is a branch of legal practice that deals with matters related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, inheritance, and domestic disputes. It establishes the legal rights and responsibilities of individuals within a family unit and provides mechanisms for resolving conflicts, ensuring the welfare of children, and protecting vulnerable family members. Family law also covers issues such as spousal support, division of assets, paternity disputes, and guardianship. In cases of domestic violence, it provides legal protection through restraining orders and other measures. As family structures evolve, family law continues to adapt to address modern challenges, including surrogacy, same-sex marriage, and parental rights.
