Family law is a wide-ranging practice area, covering all of the legal rights and responsibilities of those related by marriage, children, child support, and birth. Because they involve some of the deepest, most important relationships in many people's lives, family law disputes can be especially intense—often requiring the expertise of a skilled attorney to resolve.

As the Law Offices of Paul Lenkowsky in Bullhead City explain, family law attorneys handle a wide variety of situations, including:

• Marriage Issues: Most family law cases are marriage-related. In addition to helping guide clients through the divorce or annulment process, family law attorneys will also pursue spousal support claims, assist in filing for child support, and draft pre-nuptial agreements. They will also walk you through the process of changing your name, either before or after the divorce.
• Dependency & Emancipation: In some cases, a child may need to be removed from a parent's home, while in others a minor may want the legal authority to make their own decisions. These issues are usually extremely complex, both legally and emotionally, with long-term consequences that will impact every member of the family.
• Adoption: The process of adopting a child is often long and complicated, with multiple steps, many deadlines, and several layers of regulations. An adoption is almost impossible to complete without the expertise of a skilled family lawyer who has been through the system before.
• Guardianships & Conservatorships: If an individual is incapacitated, either through injury or illness, the court will appoint a guardian or conservator to manage their affairs. The family lawyer's responsibility is to ensure that the interests of their clients are represented and the decision is made fairly.
