Family Law Categories: A Brief Description Of The Major Ones

Pre-nuptual agreements are written contracts entered into before marriage, which deal with each person's assets and debts and how they are to be handled during marriage and in the event of a divorce.

Marriage requirements vary by state, but generally, the following rules will apply in all states: A man and woman of legal age (or with parental permission if under the legal age) must receive a license to marry from the court of the state and/or county where the marriage will be performed. If either has been married before, proof of termination of the previous marriage, whether by death, annulment or divorce, must also be presented to the court. The couple to be married must be of sound mind and not near blood relatives. Other requirements such as blood tests, vaccinations or proof of immunity to certain diseases, and waiting periods will vary from state to state.

Adoption is the process through which natural parents rights and obligations to their child or children are given up and transferred to the adoptive parents. Once the adoption becomes final, the adoptive parents assume full responsibility as the parents of the child or children and are under the same obligations to provide for the needs of the adopted child or children as they would be had this child been born to them.

Divorce laws also vary by state. In all states, a divorce is the termination of a marriage, and is handled through the court system, once all issues such as child custody and division of property are settled. Where children are involved, child custody and visitation rights need to be agreed upon before a divorce is considered final. Custody can be awarded to one parent, with visitation rights being set apart to the other parent. In some cases, joint custody can be awarded as well.

These are just some of the basic divisions of Family Law. For more information on these and other aspects of Family Law, consult one of the sources above.
