Family law cases can present issues that are more complex than those raised in other areas of practice. This is due to several reasons. First, domestic relations cases tend to raise a broader number of issues. An example can include a divorce in which the Judge must decide matters related to spousal support, property division, child custody, child support, and more, all in the same case. Second, family law issues are often less black and white than matters raised in other legal areas. In a criminal case, for example, the defendant is either “guilty” or “not guilty.” In a domestic matter, however, the decisions which the Court must reach can have a wider range of outcomes. These are just some of the ways in which family law is highly complex. Our focus on family law provides us with the experience necessary to deal with the complex issues that arise in such matters.

We also understand that complex issues in the courtroom can lead to complex issues at home. Because of this, extensive litigation is not always in the best interests of the parties or any children involved. Brandon Bernstein has had extensive training in serving as a family law mediator and regularly conducts mediations so that families may reach an out-of-court solution. By reducing the time, expense, and stress involved in litigation, the complexities involved in a family law matter can be lessened.

Regardless of your specific needs—or even if you aren’t exactly sure what you need—you should speak with a Bethesda family lawyer if you have any questions or concerns about any family-related legal matter.
