Family Law encompasses a wide range of legal matters such as Divorce, Annulment, Paternity Actions and Legal Separation. Legal Action Workshop can help either the Petitioner or the Respondent with these legal matters.  In any case, the client would begin with a consultation with the attorney to determine the legal issues and the best course of action. 

Once a Divorce, Legal Separation or Paternity Action is filed there is sometimes a need for temporary orders while the matter goes through the courts or until a hearing date is set.  During this time it may be desired or necessary to file an Order to Show Cause for temporary orders.  These orders may be for spousal support, child support or child custody and visitation.  There may also be a need for Restraining Orders if the other spouse or parent is behaving in a way that is threatening.  

Other areas of Family Law are Name Changes, Adoptions, and Guardianships.  Name Changes for adults can be completed quickly since consent is not needed.  There are 3 different kinds of Adoptions, namely Independent Adoptions, Step-Parent Adoptions and Adult Adoptions. Consent is not needed for an Adult Adoption.  For Independent and Step-Parent Adoptions the consent of both biological parents is needed, except under certain circumstances.  The attorney will advise you and give you your legal options.
