Domestic

Trusted Domestic Law Representation

Specializing in Divorce and Family Law in Augusta, Maine

Domestic law is a delicate domain. Our team has the experience to understand its nuances. Domestic law mainly deals with family law litigation such as adoption, alimony, child support, custody, divorce, domestic violence, pre-nuptial agreements, and so on. It’s not uncommon for a case to involve parties who were never married, or who have been divorced for a long time. When it comes to parental rights, questions will focus on the children, both before and after their parents' disputes have been solved.


In this field, the focus should be on the child’s well-being. Because the courts don’t usually ask what is in the best interest of the child unless something is amiss with parental care, it’s essential to work with a lawyer who understands the neauances of family law. For example, the courts will not impose guardianship over a child, even if the proposed guardian would be a better parent than the natural one - unless the court first finds the natural parent unfit.

 What Does a Family Lawyer Do?

Family lawyers focus on issues that impact families. This includes issues such as divorce, separation, child custody, adoptions, and more. People commonly visit a family lawyer for all kinds of tasks, including drafting prenuptial agreements, wills, custody agreements, and similar documents. Due to the incredibly personal nature of most of these contracts, it’s vital for a family law attorney to have strong “people skills” on top of excellent communication, time management, critical thinking, and analysis. A good family lawyer will patiently work with you and any other family members in question to reach terms that agree with everyone, no matter how difficult or draining that process might be.
