In America, and especially in West Virginia, families come in all shapes and sizes. As the definition of what makes up a family has expanded over the years, so has the practice of family law. At one time, practicing family law was about placing blame on the other party, and divorces were hard to get. Now, with the no fault divorce laws, the courts are more concerned about how both parties will fare after the divorce rather than who was at fault.
Child support and child custody is predetermined by what is in the best interests of a child rather than by traditional mother-father rules. Same-sex marriages, single family adoptions, and a wide range of reproductive choices have been developed to encourage people to find, create, and maintain the kind of family that they love.
Contested divorces are those in which the respondent disputes any issue in the case. The importance of finding the right attorney-client relationship for a contested divorce is essential. Your impression of the legalities involved and what is accepted with the divorce is mainly influenced by the relationship you have with your attorney.
