Many people rightly associate family law with issues such as divorce, child custody and adoption. There are, however, more unusual topics which are taken on by family law barristers in North Wales, who can provide expert legal support when issues arise.
One matter which often comes under the family law umbrella is domestic abuse. This can cover many different types of incident, ranging from coercive control to financial abuse and even violence. Legal experts can support on matters like non-molestation orders and occupation orders which controls who is able to live in the family home and who cannot.
Prenuptial agreements are another area of family law. Solicitors can help draft and complete legally, an agreement which lays out what happens to assets in the event of a divorce. This can cover cash, property or possessions and, once completed, can protect and reassure those about to be married.
One of the most unusual matters dealt with in family courts is dog custody. Solicitors in Conwy can help to work out who will look after and keep dogs and other pets once a separation or divorce is underway. Often, decisions are made based on who purchased the animal and who generally looks after and pays for the everyday costs of keeping it, though this is not always the case and may be challenged by the other party.
