  amily law encompasses a myriad of legal matters relating to family issues. Family law rulings help resolve family conflicts involving marriage, divorce, cohabitation, paternity, alimony, child support, custody and visitation rights, adoption, and much more. Family law is especially important to couples that are not married, but share property or children.
Every state has enacted family laws governing issues and disputes over spousal and child support issues, property rights, distribution of assets, and more for married and unmarried couples. It has become more common today for couples to live together and have children together without getting married. Unfortunately, in some cases, these relationships end and family conflicts must be resolved.
If the couple has children in common, then child custody, visitation, and support issues must be handled in a family law court.

Divorce Law
The Law Office of Haines & Krieger offer skilled attorneys to help you navigate through your difficult time. Divorce rates are on the rise with Nevada having the highest divorce rate, and approximately half of all marriages in the Continental United States ending in divorce. Divorce is undoubtedly a difficult emotional and financial process for all parties involved. To aid in the termination of marital unions, all states have established divorce laws.
Primarily governed by individual states, divorce laws that apply in one state may not necessarily apply in another. States sometimes have similar divorce laws, especially with regard to issues of spousal support and alimony, child custody, and property division. However, divorce laws can vary tremendously when it comes to filing procedures, child support, divorce grounds, and residency requirements. If you are considering divorce, our caring and qualified divorce attorneys can help you.
Under divorce law, there are two types of divorce – contested and uncontested. Contested divorces tend to entail much more strife and difficulty since the two parties cannot come to terms with either the divorce in general or the conditions of the divorce. Oftentimes, the parties will disagree on matters regarding the division of assets, allocation of debts, alimony, and child custody. Nevada's divorce laws, however, articulate rules and guidelines meant to resolve these issues.
An uncontested divorce tends to be less complicated since both parties agree to the terms of the divorce, and thus an uncontested divorce generally proceeds through the legal system faster than a contested one.
Because of the expeditious nature of uncontested divorces, lawyers and judges often prefer to resolve marital disputes in an uncontested out-of-court settlement. Unfortunately, some spouses are unwilling to settle or agree on certain terms of the divorce. In such cases, divorce law may require both parties to participate in counseling or mediation to help diffuse areas of contention and emotional tension. However, counselors and mediators are not always state-funded and can significantly increase the cost of a divorce.
Understanding divorce law and protecting your legal interests during this trying time requires the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney. A qualified and successful divorce lawyer can offer counsel on complicated divorce law and other important financial and legal considerations, and properly guide you through every step of the divorce process. Our compassionate lawyers work very closely and diligently with our clients prior to filing a divorce action in order to ensure our ability to protect their best interests. Whether it is a contested divorce, and requires thorough litigation, complex asset division, or uncontested, we have the skill and knowledge to efficiently handle your case and fight aggressively for you.
