Family law is a specific legal area that concerns any family or domestic relationship matters.  In relation to marriage and domestic partnerships this can include a number of issues.  A large part of family law deals with divorce, or the legal termination of marriage.  In many cases, divorce also entails additional legal matters, including visitation, child support, child custody, spousal support, and property distribution.  As family law is a distinct and highly technical legal field, these procedures often require the assistance of experienced attorneys.  The trusted lawyers at My AZ Lawyers have years of legal experience during which we have accumulated and honed the specialized skills needed to resolve family law cases.
