No one wants to go to court, and family court can be particularly stressful. This is because many family-related legal issues are complicated and emotional, with a lot at stake. However, there are some positive reasons you might be in family court, as well. In either situation, you want the right Boca Raton family law attorney to make sure everything goes smoothly for you.
Divorce
Divorce is one of the most common cases in family court, and it can be stressful. You must resolve many issues, including property division, alimony, child custody, and more. An attorney can help resolve your case out of court whenever possible, so you only have to go before the judge briefly, if at all.
Child-Related Issues
If you and your child’s parent are divorcing or otherwise living apart, you will need to determine how to split time-sharing and parenting responsibilities, as well as whether one parent. This is also true if one parent is bringing a paternity suit. These cases can often be contentious, or the parents can reach an agreement out of court to save stress, time, and money.
Modifications
If you already have orders from the family court, such as for time-sharing or child support, you might need to alter them due to a change of circumstances. The other party might also want to modify a court order, and if one person opposes the change, you can end up in court.
Adoption
One positive reason that families go to family court is for adoption, including foster or stepparent adoption. This type of case hopefully ends in celebration and involves less stress, though things can still go wrong.
