22 Mar What Family Law Covers
Bloom Law Office specializes in family law, but what exactly does that cover? It can include any legal specialty that has to do with family, from marriage and divorce to matters related to children. Marriage and divorce are the two most complicated personal and legal arrangements two people can enter. Marriage rates are slightly increasing since 2009, with over two million people (or one million couples) getting married in the U.S. each year. Preparing for marriage can, and often should, involve legal arrangements.
Benefits of Prenuptial Agreement For You and Your Family
Prenuptial agreements are a great way to protect yourself, your union, and children or future children. It might not sound particularly romantic, but elements of a marriage are very much a legal arrangement. Marriage comes with benefits and responsibilities that deserve protecting. You don’t need to be wealthy, have a blended family, or have children to benefit from the protection a prenuptial agreement can offer.
Divorces are also relatively common. In the U.S., there’s a divorce every 36 seconds according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That equates to 2,400 divorces every day or 876,000 divorces each year. That’s not much less than the one million marriages each year, which makes both marriage and divorce a pretty common occurrence. However, just because these arrangements are common doesn’t mean they’re always simple.
The average marriage in the U.S. lasts eight years. On average, those who remarry do so three years after a divorce. With all the marriages and divorces happening in the U.S., the importance of family law has increased. Nobody goes into a marriage wanting or expecting a divorce. From engagements through a divorce (if it should happen), having a quality family law in your corner can help make the process fairer and a little smoother.
Family law can also involve business ownership if it’s a family business. Small businesses employ just over half of all workers in the U.S. Mixing business with pleasure always comes with risks, particularly when the family unit divides. No matter what type of family law you’re facing, having a reputable family law attorney on your side is important. Contact Bloom Law Office today and start protecting yourself and your family.
