Q: What is Family Law?
A: Family law is the law that regulates relationships among relatives. Common types of family law cases are: marriage, adoption; child custody, visitation, and support; spousal support; emancipation, divorce, and pre-marital agreements (prenuptial agreements).
Although family law is a branch of civil law, the party that files is called the petitioner, and the party that must answer is called the respondent.

- children taken out of their home based on child protective services' (Department of Family & Protective Services) allegations of physical or medical abuse or neglect;
- drafting cohabitation agreements to protect the assets of the couples that are unmarried and living together;
- attending temporary order hearing for divorce, custody and/or child support issues;
- drafting modifications of child support agreements after a divorce has been finalized;

Miscellaneous FAQ:
Q: What is negotiation, mediation, and/or settlement?

A: The best way to contact the attorneys is by e-mail. The attorneys check their e-mail often. Even the days that the attorneys are in court, they are able to check their e-mail, even though they may not be able to return a call.
Q: Do I have to come to the office for an initial consultation?
A: No, since we are a virtual office, we are able to hold client meetings over the phone.
Q: What should I bring to the client meeting?
A: Potential clients should bring all of the court documents, medical bills, personal notes, and all the other documentation that you feel is relevant to your case. We will photocopy, and send the originals home with the client.
Q: What should I wear to court?
Lesson learned from My Cousin Vinny:
"When you come into my court looking like you do, you're not only insulting me, but you insult the integrity of this court." (Judge Haller).
"Now didn't I tell you next time you appear in my courtroom that you dress appropriately?" (Judge)
"You were serious about that?" (Vinny)
A: However, this is no laughing matter, judges initially judge the client by what they wear. Suits are best, but if you do not have one, choose an outfit that you would feel comfortable wearing to church or a formal business meeting.
Q: Is litigation contradictory of the Christian faith?
A: "For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity" - Isaiah 61:7-9
"A good man wins his case by careful arguement; the evil-minded only wants to fight. Self control means controlling the tongue, a quick retort can ruin everything." - Proverbs 13:2&3
