The Plainfield Family Law Attorneys at Fay, Farrow, & Associates, P.C. know that family law challenges are different than any other type of legal challenge. Family law disputes tend to be higher-stakes than almost any other type of legal dispute, not only because they often involve child custody issues, but also because they often result in the disposition of a lifetime’s worth of assets. How a family law case is decided can impact a person’s entire future. However, because children are so frequently involved in family law disputes, the type of aggressive legal tactics that might be appropriate in other scenarios could actually be harmful. More than one person caught up in a custody dispute has found that they won the fight, but lost their children’s love, respect, or trust. Even when children are not involved in a family law dispute, the negative emotions surrounding a break-up can result in people fighting just to fight.
Family law specialists understand that family law is more complex than other types of law, because the consequences go far beyond the courtroom. That is why we focus on long-term results, not short-term victories. We use our years of experience to help our clients make decisions that will provide short-term-gains and long-term victories. This means resolving disputes amiably, when possible, but also being willing to wage a legal battle if it is necessary. By helping our clients use reason, and not the heightened emotion that often surrounds family law disputes, we put them in the best position to reasonably assess when a conflict is critical and when it can be avoided. A family law dispute is one of the most stressful experiences a person can have. While we cannot make those disputes stress-free, we can help take away your worries about the legal parts of that dispute.
