- 5. Child Custody
- 6. Child Support
- 7. Paternity
- 8. Alimony or Spousal Support

Expert legal advice from a family law attorney can prove vital in making key decisions. When you are getting a divorce, adopting a child, putting a child up for adoption, modifying child support, and restructuring child custody or visitation, consulting a lawyer can prove invaluable. Legal counsel will not only help you to understand family issues, but also to achieve a favorable outcome. A family law attorney with years of experience will be able to adjudicate the appropriate remedy for your unique situation – whether you simply need legal advice, mediation, legal representation or litigation through the court system to resolve your issue.
