Introduction to Family Law
When family problems are serious, sometimes the people involved simply cannot agree on a reasonable solution. Other options at this point are mediation or negotiation arranged by your lawyer. If a solution still cant be reached, you can apply to have your problem dealt with in court.
Family Court handles all problems involving child welfare and young offenders. Family Court may also be where you come to solve child custody and to get support for yourself and your children.
The Court handles divorce and property settlements. This court can also handle custody and support problems.
Talk to a lawyer first: If you are thinking about separating from your spouse, it is important that you talk to a lawyer first. Remember, the way a family problem is settled who gets custody of the children for example can affect the rest of your life. Please make sure you get the expert advice you need. Do not sign any documents or agreements until you have talked to your lawyer about them.
When a family splits up, the husband and wife are expected to pay for their own needs as much as possible. If you cant support yourself, your spouse must help as he or she can. Both parents have to contribute as much as they are able to take care of their children.
You or your lawyer can first try to work out an agreement with your spouse about support for you or the children. If you cant agree, you may apply to the court. A judge will then decide how much you need and how much your spouse can pay.
The judge has to review all the information about what you need to live on and about what you and your spouse earn or own, so it may take some time before you can get a final decision and a court order. If this is the case, you can ask the court to order temporary support for you.
