What is family law and how does it differ from divorce?

Family law is a very broad area of the law that includes many different situations. Divorce is one part of family law concerned with the dissolution of marriage and the issues that arise from ending a relationship. However, family law also includes child custody, visitation, child and spousal support, and many other issues that arise between family members, parents and children. The sophisticated family law team at Jean M. Mahserjian, Esq. can review your situation and help to determine what should happen next.

We are available to assist you with matters related to any of the following practice areas:

Our attorneys are also experienced in the newest trend in family law — mediation and collaborative divorce. Collaborative divorce and mediation allow for a respectful, dignified approach that seeks to keep the parties amicable and facing a new, peaceful direction for the future.

They were so kind and caring throughout the whole experience. Walked with me through everything. They made a difficult and painful time more. I would recommend them to in a heartbeat. Best decision about the divorce I made.
