FAMILY LAW 101

• Not all legal issues happen in the workplace or
  public eye. Sometimes they are private, personal
  conflicts that people face in their everyday
  lives. Issues like these such as divorce,
  alimony, or child support can be some of the
  hardest challenges to face. Issues like these are
  usually called family law. Family law is very
  serious, and something that Nelson Law Group does
  not take lightly. Below are some of the most
  common questions and answers about family law.
• Do I need an attorney if I am getting a divorce?
• Normally both parties consult a lawyer in a
  divorce case. A case can take anywhere from six
  months to one year to complete, depending on how
  many factors play a role in the case.

• How much do divorce cases cost?
• A simple case can cost around 2,000, and prices
  can rise from there depending on how complex the
  case is.
• Is everything in a divorce case split evenly
  between the parties?
• Usually it is not an even split between parties.
  The court will split everything equitably to make
  it as fair for both parties as possible.

• Who usually gets custody of the children in a
  divorce case?
• There are many factors to consider when deciding
  custody of the children in a divorce case. Age,
  schooling, work, and well-being all play a role
  in who gets custody of the children. However, one
  of the top priorities of family law cases is that
  both parties get equal time and responsibility of
  the children.
