When faced with a legal issue for the first time, it’s understandable if you don’t immediately know which area of law it falls under. Take family law — many people assume family courts only do divorces. So even if they have a closely-related issue, they may waste precious time chasing resources that won’t help. Or worse, they don’t think justice exists for their unique situation.
The reality is that family law is a broad and focusd branch of law that offers solutions to a lengthy list of cases related to family dynamics and domestic relationships. And you may be surprised by how comprehensive that list can be.
Examples of common cases heard in a family court
While divorce represents a significant piece of family law, there is so much more to it than what meets the eye. Below is just a short list of the types of cases you might see in a Texas family court:
- Marriage
- Child custody
- Spousal maintenance
- Child support
- Terminations
- Adoption
- Property division
- Juvenile law
- Parental rights
- Emancipation
- Paternity suits
Basically, any legal matter that impacts families falls under the family law jurisdiction.
