Family Law Involves Legal Services That Has to do With Families
Family law refers to anything involving legal services that has to do with families. When people get divorced, they need to have the services of a family lawyer. This person helps them to divide the property fairly and settle disputes out of court of possible. Each spouse will need to have his/her own lawyer and the lawyers will deal with each other if the separation and divorce is not an amicable one. This eliminates the extra stress of having to argue things out in public.
Although some couples do not need to have two different lawyers because they agree to divorce and can solve the separation problems themselves. They only need to have a lawyer to make the divorce legal in court. However, if there are children involved family law looks after the children in deciding custody rights and the amount of payment needed by one of the parents to help pay the children’s expenses. Family law is not just for divorces, though. It may be used by grandparents who want access to their grandchildren or if children have been taken illegally by one of the parents.
When dealing with family law, you will receive the same professional services as you would receive if you needed a criminal lawyer. Actually, family lawyers have been trained to deal with sensitive issues and are able to give you an unbiased opinion about the solution to the problem. A lawyer experienced in family law can help you in many ways:
• Explain how the courts work and help you decide which options are open to you.
• Advise you of your rights and the best way to deal with an issue
• Prepare the paperwork required and represent you in court
• Seek a court order that gives you physical protection, if this is necessary.
Family law is sometimes provided to low income families through legal aid services. You don’t have to feel that because you don’t have the money for a lawyer that you have nowhere to turn. Many of these lawyers also have an online presence and will answer questions for you without charge.

Can I seek legal action against social services?
Social services have harassed my family, written false reports against me and my wife, they have relayed this information to everyone involved through core group meetings and conference reviews since 2008, they have altered a police statement giving it a totally different out look.
(No police charges have been brought against me or my wife in respect of our children)
They said at the initial Conference that this allowed them to start child protection planning under the heading of physical abuse, the only thing is that nothing was substantiated, so after several months of harassment including visits from several different key workers, the category was changed from physical abuse to emotional harm.
After trying to correct all the errors and false information that has built up against myself and wife, the social services are once again tightening their grip on me and my family and are threatening legal action against us, they are also demanding to speak to our children alone, I will not comply with this request as they have betrayed our trust and continue to falsify reports giving us a negative light at core and conference meetings.
I started to study law so as to help myself and family, (self taught for a few years now) we do have a legal representative, but I feel that this extra knowledge on family law & child law can only help as not all solicitors are what they make them selves out to be!
Interestingly I found a tone of laws that the social services have broke and failed to keep, (that was the easy part) I do not have a tone of money though, and have already identified that to take a goverment agency to court and winning them in a goverment run court is going to be very difficult, (as hard as convincing the devil he is a devil with in the devils own kitchen) but not impossible.
All advice and information welcome.
Stop beating your kids.

It’s a very difficult one. The local authority did the same with my Daughter as she was only 15 when she had my granddaughter and put her on the child protection register for possible neglect. My daughter had to go into several mother and baby placements.. until they finally broke her down and she gave up her little girl to me, so that I could take care of her and she knew that she would still be able to see her.
ask for an independent social worker to assess your parenting skills, and also try and get an advocate from an outside agency to be all meetings with you, so that they can record what has been said and so that they can be there when speaking to your children.
Good luck.
