What Is Family Law?
Family law is a specialized area of civil law pertaining to legal affairs 
among family members. Many types of cases unfold in the family 
court system, and it is possible for outside civil or criminal cases to 
ultimately branch into family court proceedings as well. Johnson 
O’Keefe can provide client-focused legal representation in many 
types of family court cases, including:
Divorce: Ending a marriage requires resolving various financial 
issues between the spouses, determining custody and support for 
their children, and legally terminating their marital contract. An 
experienced family lawyer can provide invaluable guidance, helping 
you reach a favorable outcome to your divorce order and resolving 
any issues as they arise in your case.
Child custody disputes: One of the most challenging family court 
cases any parent can experience is a custody determination or 
custody dispute. The court has a legal duty to rule in favor of the 
child’s best interests in any custody case. Reliable legal counsel can 
help you make a compelling case for custody and resolve any 
conflicts arising after your custody order’s finalization.
Divorce Mediation: Even a challenging divorce can be resolved 
through private mediation. However, even if you cannot address 
every issue your divorce entails, working with Johnson O’Keefe 
means taking full advantage of alternative dispute resolution to 
streamline your divorce.
Family court order modifications: Family courts throughout the 
United States recognize that life can present unpredictable 
challenges, some of which affect standing court orders. If you need to
request a reasonable adjustment to a standing order, Johnson 
O’Keefe can efficiently guide you through the modification process.
Estate planning: End-of-life planning can give your loved ones some
peace of mind and an easier time managing legal affairs after death. 
However, if you intend to divorce soon, you should also revisit any 
estate plans you’ve made to adjust them accordingly. Johnson 
O’Keefe can help you build a new estate plan or adjust an existing 
one after a divorce or other major life event.
Domestic Violence and Orders of Protection: If you have 
experienced any form of domestic violence, Johnson O’Keefe can 
assist you in securing an order of protection from the court as soon 
as possible, limiting your risk of experiencing further harm. An 
experienced family lawyer will also be essential for navigating the 
family court proceedings you face after securing your protective 
order.
Spousal Support/ Alimony: Some divorces end with one spouse 
facing alimony or spousal support obligation. Johnson O’Keefe can 
provide comprehensive divorce representation, including handling an 
alimony determination in your case. Our team can also assist in 
resolving disputes that arise over standing alimony orders.
Many family court cases are multifaceted, and it’s important to have 
legal representation from an attorney ready to address the unique 
variables of your case. Johnson O’Keefe is ready to offer 
individualized and responsive counsel through all your family court 
proceedings. Contact us today and schedule a consultation to learn
