Family Law
What are the legal requirements for getting married? Should I consider a marriage contract or cohabitation agreement, and why is it important? What is the process for adopting a child? What is the process for filing for divorce or separation? Should I consider mediation? I’m a victim of intimate partner violence or abuse (physical, verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual, financial, spiritual or cyberviolence)—what should I do?
