Where family lawyers specialize
Custody and parenting time
The hardest and most common fight, and the one judges care most about.
High-asset divorce
Businesses, pensions, real estate and hidden money. Where the pay is.
Adoption
Mostly happy work, largely paperwork, and a welcome break from the rest.
Protective orders and domestic violence
Urgent, often unpaid or low paid, and genuinely life-saving.
Collaborative divorce and mediation
Settling without court. Growing fast because it is cheaper for clients.
