What is the Difference Between a Family Law Attorney and a Divorce Attorney?

A family law attorney can handle many different types of divorce cases, including uncontested, high-asset, and complex litigation. If your divorce is not complicated and you don't have children or spousal support, then you might consider hiring a divorce lawyer who focuses on divorce litigation. This type of legal representation can be helpful in the case of divorce settlements that end in litigation.

A family law attorney can be a specialist in many areas. For example, they can be specialists in guardianship and conservatorship, child custody, adoptions, and appeals. While the terms family law and divorce are often interchangeable, there are major differences. While divorce attorneys are specialized in family law, they are often specialized in different areas of the field.

A family law attorney can help spouses get more out of a mediation session. For example, a family law attorney can ensure that the mediator does not have a bias and is working in the best interests of the children. Additionally, a family law attorney can also encourage you to use mediation instead of litigation if you are not satisfied with the outcome of the mediation session. If mediation is a viable option, this could be beneficial for both of you.

The biggest difference between a divorce attorney and a family law attorney is that a divorce attorney specializes in divorce and the family law area, while a family law attorney specializes in family law. A divorce attorney will offer representation in both areas, such as the dissolution of a marriage. A family lawyer will offer more extensive services. A divorce attorney can also handle other aspects of the divorce process.

A divorce attorney and a family lawyer are different in that they have more experience with a particular case. An experienced divorce attorney can handle cases involving multiple parties. Family law attorneys specialize in one area of law such as the law of property division and marriage law. A family lawyer will not have the ability to negotiate with other parties but can fight for their rights and fight for their clients.

Another important difference between a divorce attorney and a family law attorney is their specialization. While divorce attorneys specialize in divorce, family law attorneys specialize in a specific area of law. A lawyer can specialize in a particular area of the law, like estate planning, or a specific type of divorce. A divorce lawyer specializes in a specific area of law and can help a client navigate the legal system.
