Family Law

    JERSEY CITY, NJ, April 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Legal representation for any type of legal case requires that the attorney providing services understand the unique nuances of the applicable field of law. In the practice of family law, the stakes are often very personal, very high for those involved, and can be shrouded in emotion that can cloud judgment and drive outcomes. Because of the deeply personal challenges for those involved, it is essential to hire an attorney who specializes in the practice of family law; one who is experienced in facilitating the best resolution possible in the midst of, or perhaps in spite of, the personal and emotional barriers that exist.

Perhaps the type of family law that is evident to most people is divorce proceedings. An experienced divorce lawyer helps the parties involved set aside the emotions of everything that has happened leading up to the divorce. Then the parties can approach the proceedings as a business transaction. It may not be a circumstance that the parties envisioned that they would be party to, but with the help of a skilled family law attorney the issues can be resolved.

All divorces are not created equal. Some are uncontested and others result in long and difficult battles. No matter what the level of the conflict, there are some consistent areas of family law that are related to divorce proceedings.

Types of Family Law Cases related to Divorce
- Property Division - The distribution of the assets at the time of a divorce can be very complex. Retaining an attorney who is focused on a fair divorce settlement is essential to navigating these complexities.

- Child Custody and Visitation - Deciding who will have custody of the children and the conditions surrounding visitation is a highly emotional issue in a divorce. Each parent may have the best interest of the children in mind and yet have very different ideas about what is "best." To facilitate the best outcome for the children and the parents requires that an attorney also be well versed in the specific factors that a judge must consider when deciding on custody issues.

- Child Support - There are formulas in place to help determine the amount of support paid by the non-custodial parent. A family law attorney helps to facilitate a fair child support obligation.

- DYFS (Department of Youth and Family Services) Representation - Allegations regarding conduct affecting the safety of a child can result in action by the DYFS that can include losing visitation rights and even having the children removed from the home. An accusation even if false can initiate a frightening legal process that requires skilled, specialized representation.
