The Florida Legislature in all its wisdom has developed many laws between people that fall into the category of family law. What is family law? It is the legal effects of these relationships, so I have listed each of them for you. As you know, we can’t pick our families, so in certain instances it might be a love relationship, and in other circumstances, it could be a hate relationship. Here’s the list of “loved” ones in the family that Florida family laws protect:
- blood relatives
- dead relatives
- intimate relationships of unrelated persons
- siblings
- parents
- children
- step children
- adopted children
- minor children
- children with special needs
- same sex couples
- husbands
- wives
- ex spouses
- the elderly
- the unborn
- adoptive parents
- grandparents
- guardians
- custodians
- health care surrogates
How these relationships are dealt with in the legal sense is what family law is all about.
For additional information on any of these, please call my law firm, Robin Roshkind, P.A., for a consultation (561-835-9091) or view the firm’s website at www.familylawwpb.com.
