Paul Smith Legal

Family law, also known as family relationships, is probably the most common legal problem faced by ordinary people. Although family law has various legal steps – adoptions, terminations, lawsuits that affect the parent-child relationship – divorce is probably the kind of case most people think of in family law. No one intends to divorce, but in today`s world – ironically – it is only by filing for divorce that you can get someone to fulfill the duties and promises of the prenuptial agreement.
