Family Law

Family law is the branch of civil law that encompasses the legal relationships among family members, including husbands, wives, parents, children, and domestic partners. Wilka and Welter's practice focuses on family law because we want to help. We handle cases including but not limited to:

• Adoption
• Child custody
• Visitation rights
• Domestic violence
• Divorce
• Juvenile dependency and delinquency
• Marital property rights
• Support obligations

Family law, also known as matrimonial law or the law of domestic relations is often stressful. We know that family relationships and the legalities that govern them can be difficult to understand. We are here to make those legalities as easy as possible for you so you can focus on your family.

When people need information on family law, it is usually because they are considering or already going through a significant life change. Whether it is a happy event such as getting married or adopting a child, or an unfortunate event such as divorce or domestic abuse—family law can be complex and more complicated than expected. Knowledge of the law will not eliminate all the anxieties that may accompany a legal issue but seeing a lawyer can aid you in understanding your legal situation and will help prepare you for any problems that you may face.
