Family law by any other name is still family law

This blog is written so that individuals in other states will understand that there are different names for different concepts of law in different states.  For instance, some states call family law, domestic relations law.  Of course, domestic relations law, or family law, consists of many areas including divorce law, child custody law, and child support law.

Some states use words like sole custody, visitation, primary custody, joint custody, shared custody, legal custody, physical custody, custodial parent, noncustodial parent.

Some states call divorce, termination of marriage, no fault divorce, fault divorce, and dissolution of marriage.
