Matrimonial and Family Law
When a couple decides to end a marriage, a judge must issue
a divorce decree. This requires one spouse filing for a divorce
on the basis of grounds, including cruel and inhuman
treatment, adultery, imprisonment, abandonment, or constructive
abandonment. The second means for obtaining a divorce is through
the conversion of a separation agreement that has been in effect
for at least one year. If a couple has not married, but needs
to resolve issues such as paternity, child support, child custody,
then these issues are handled in Family Court. This court also
handles the prosecution of minors being tried as juveniles.
The attorneys of Lynch Legal Associates handle contested
and uncontested divorce actions, child custody, separation
agreements,
pre-nuptial
agreements, and offers alternative dispute resolutions to
family law matters.
