An Overview of Domestic Relations Law

Domestic Relations Law, commonly known as Family Law, is a broad area of law that encompasses a range of issues that arise in and around family units.
People tend to be most familiar with family issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance (aka alimony or spousal support), and marital property division. However, not every case will involve all of these elements, and there are several other issues that fall under the domestic relations law umbrella. Below are a range of family law issues that are handled by Riveter Law.
