Common questions about Family Law

How does a mutual-consent divorce differ from a contested one?

In a mutual-consent divorce both parties agree to end the marriage and, usually, on the related terms. A contested divorce arises where the parties do not agree. The process and considerations differ significantly, and the applicable law and facts determine the route.

How are child custody matters generally approached?

Custody, visitation, and guardianship focus on arrangements for the care of a child, with the welfare of the child as a central concern. The specific arrangement depends on the circumstances and the applicable law.

Is mediation used in family matters?

Yes. Courts often encourage mediation and settlement in family matters, and many are resolved this way where the parties are able to agree. Whether it is suitable depends on the situation.

Which law governs a family dispute?
