"Family Law" refers to that area of the law concerning the creation, interaction, and dissolution of family relationships -- these involve important and often complex matters. For example, Family Law concerns topics in Texas such as:

• how a parent-child relationship is created, whether by birth or adoption;
• under what circumstances two people are considered married;
• the rights, duties, and liabilities between parents and their children or between spouses;
• how to determine whether particular property is subject to one spouse's individual debts or obligations;
• under what circumstances spouses can dissolve their marriage;
• how to divide assets and liabilities when two spouses dissolve their marriage;
• what continuing obligations may exist between former spouses;
• the existence and scope of any duty to report family violence, child abuse or neglect; and
• the state's obligations, duties and rights in suspected cases of family violence, child abuse or neglect.
