  To accommodate this there has been increasing specialization, such that, should you need legal advice or representation regarding family-related issues and domestic relations in marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships, you should turn for help to a family law solicitor.
  

  Family law, as the name suggests, covers those aspect of the law that address domestic and family-related issues. Subjects that fall under its aegis are spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse, child abduction and the taking of children into care. When a relationship breaks down, family law encompasses the aspects of divorce, annulment, property settlements, maintenance, contact and parental responsibility. Paternity fraud and testing also fall under family law.

  
  

  How Could a Family Law Solicitor Help You?

  
  

  Should you find yourself embroiled in any of these aforementioned situations, consultation with a family law solicitor will provide you with a source of sound advice. Domestic matters are often highly emotional: confronted with the potential loss of your children, your home, your livelihood or anything else that you feel strongly about can leave you highly strung, to say the least. In this condition it is quite possible that you may react in a manner not conducive towards the successful resolution of your case. A cool head, a calm demeanour and an objective attitude are what are called for; and a family law solicitor can provide you with these.

  
  

  As well as providing advice on how to improve your case and how to prevent it unnecessarily going against you, a family law solicitor can be instructed to represent you in any hearings in a family court. Family matters are dealt with in the Family Division of the High Court, by district judges in County Courts and in Family Proceedings Courts, which are specialist Magistrates' Courts. No matter where the case is heard, your solicitor will be able to advocate for you. Whether you are the applicant - the person bringing the case to court - or the respondent - the person defending a case - your solicitor will speak for you. If you are the applicant, your solicitor will make your opening statement concerning the case and why it is being brought to the court. If you are the respondent, your solicitor will answer the opening statement on your behalf, explaining why you oppose the application to the court. Should the judge or the magistrates have any questions at this point for clarification, your lawyer will be able to answer for you. Your solicitor will also bring forth evidence to support your case and call witnesses on your behalf.

  
  

  It is important to remember that, as stressful and nerve-wracking as a family court hearing may be, when you do get chance to speak, always take care to treat court staff, lawyers and the tribunal hearing the case with respect. An emotional outburst can undo all of your solicitor's good works.

  
  

  The above is but a brief outline; but hopefully will have helped you realize that, if you find yourself in need of advice or representation in a family matter, the best thing to do is to instruct a family law solicitor.
