There are two main aspects to family law:
The first is preventative: recognizing, planning, laying the groundwork for a common law relationship, marriage or raising children and God forbid the breakdown of this relationship.
The second is damage control: dealing with the breakdown of a common law relationship, marriage or child related issues.
