                Description

                What is Family/ Matrimonial Law?

                Matrimonial, financial, and child law are the three primary practice areas in family law. Many Lawyers focus on either matrimonial or child law, while others work with a diverse range of clients. Domestic violence, guardianship, child abuse, and neglect are possible topics. Inheritance law, retirements, pensions, and other benefits are examples of different issues. They can also help with pre-nuptial agreements to safeguard a couple's financial interests before they marry and divorce and civil partnership dissolution. In addition, some Family Lawyers may handle adoption, paternity, reproductive rights, emancipation, and other non-divorce-related issues.

                Divorce and separation, child contact and adoption, Local Authority care orders, and financial settlements are all handled by Family Lawyers. When representing a client seeking a divorce, Lawyers are responsible for gathering initial information, including economic evidence, preparing required documentation, negotiating settlements and child contact or residency, referring to mediation, and advocating for the client in court. Instructing Counsel and accompanying Counsel to court may also be part of the job. Child law attorneys may also represent parties in child welfare procedures, such as parents, children, or local governments.
