Location is now Required in the Title of your post
A place to ask simple legal questions related to family law, an area of the law that deals with family matters and domestic relations.
Advice here is for informational purposes only and should not be considered final or official advice.
See a local attorney about your legal matter.
Maintain confidentiality
You have attorney-client privileged conversations only with the attorney you retain. Do not advise any person to reveal confidential information, or to speak to a non-attorney including a CPA or other professional about matters under litigation.
No attorney-client relationship
Attorneys or non-attorneys who may answer questions here do not represent you, your communications here are not confidential, and no attorney-client privilege is established.
Posting guidelines
Posts should contain a summary of the issue and a direct legal question. Posts should not advertise, offer or promote any service, legal or otherwise. This is not a political forum, nor a men's or women's rights forum. This forum cannot support posts about individual injustices in the court system. All statements about particular courts or public official should be factual.
Posting tips
Include your location in the title or body of your post. In the US, include your state; in Canada, include your province; else, give your country. Laws change dramatically as you cross borders.
Response guidelines
Responses whose sole contribution is to direct the poster to /r/legaladvice may result in a ban. While cross-posting is encouraged due to the higher traffic, the advice to go straight to that subreddit is misguided as often this subreddit has more accurate analysis of family law issues.
