Divorce and Family Law Overview

Ottumwa Divorce Lawyer

Family law is that legal field which covers family and domestic matters, such as divorce and its related issues, as well as issues such as paternity, guardianship, adoption, prenuptial agreements, domestic violence, orders of protection, grandparents' rights, and more. In every divorce, you and your spouse will have to resolve all of the matters pertaining to the dissolution of your marriage, including the equitable distribution of marital property, child custody, child support, spousal support, and child visitation. The decisions you make about these issues can have a deep and long-lasting impact on your financial situation as well as your family relationships. Divorce and other family law matters can be the source of extreme emotional distress because of the deeply personal nature of the relationships involved. That is why you need an attorney who can provide you with practice guidance throughout this often divisive and difficult process.
