What is Family Law?

Family law is a legal practice area that deals with issues related to family relationships, domestic matters, and personal affairs. It contains a wide range of legal topics and concerns that arise within families. Common areas of family law can include: 

  • Divorce and Separation: Family law governs the legal process of a domestic partnership or ending a marriage. This can include issues like property division, alimony, child custody, and child support.
  • Child Custody and Visitation: This area focuses on deciding where a child will live, the visitation rights of non-custodial parents, and creating parenting plans that prioritize the best interests of the child.
  • Child Support: Family law sets guidelines for calculating child support payments to help ensure that both parents contribute financially to their child's well-being.
  • Adoption: Legal procedures and requirements for adopting a child, establishing legal parent-child relationships for adoptive parents, and removing parental rights of birth parents.
  • Paternity: Cases involving the determination of a child's biological father, which is important and helps establish parental rights and responsibilities.
  • Guardianship: Legal arrangements made for individuals who cannot care for themselves due to age, disability, or other reasons, where a guardian is selected to make decisions on their behalf.
  • Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders: Laws that protect individuals from domestic abuse and provide tools to obtain restraining orders against abusive partners or family members.
  • Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Legal contracts that couples enter into before or after marriage to manage property division and other financial matters in the event of divorce or death.

Family law cases can oftentimes be emotionally charged and complex, involving sensitive issues that require skilled legal representation and mediation. Our family law firm in Worcester County specializes in handling these matters and aims to protect your rights and interests while promoting the well-being of your family.

Why Should I Hire a Family Law Attorney?

It can be appealing to some to keep their family matters private and handle them alone. Without a thorough knowledge of family law or the jargon involved, however, this can leave substantial room for costly mistakes during the legal process. Relying on a team with significant experience in handling multiple unique situations can alleviate stress on you and your family, as well as potentially save you money in mistakes and time involved in handling your specific situation.

Having legal advice and counseling is another major advantage of hiring an experienced attorney. Though no two situations are the same, chances are we have seen or heard of something of a similar nature, and we have the knowledge and capabilities to guide you through this time in your life. In times of uncertainty, when you need to protect yourself and your family, you can lean on our experience and professionalism to help you move forward.

    "O'Connor Family Law and specifically Lydia Field were amazing throughout my entire divorce process. Lydia was so knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful as we worked through the mountains of paperwork."

    - Sarah M.

    "I am so happy with the services Attorney Khan provided, she came in at the last minute after a previous attorney did not fulfil his duties and she found errors he had made, worked all weekend on a rush to finalize my divorce."

    - Courtney O.

    "LaKeshia Parker Smalls and her team were so wonderful throughout my divorce process. I spoke with a few other lawyers before hiring her who made me feel like a burden with all the questions I needed answers to."

    - Jessica C.

    "Sasha Khan worked with me for 10 months on a child custody modification. She had a difficult case with the opposing party, but was very professional and driven to defend me and give advice through a very difficult time in my life."

    - Shannon W.
