What Is Family Law?

Family law encompasses a broad range of legal matters affecting personal and family life. While many people associate it primarily with divorce, it also includes financial settlements following separation, handling cases of domestic abuse, dealing with child arrangements, and navigating processes such as surrogacy, adoption, and creating or reviewing nuptial agreements.
