Divorce Laws Provided By Statutes
State divorce laws, whether provided by statutes or court decisions, frequently change as government bodies
react to societal changes and political agendas. Family law lawyers must be licensed by the state bar which
includes verification of competency in legal analysis of divorce laws, child support regulations and rules of
court. Thereafter all family law lawyers must further participate each year in continuing legal education
courses that are approved by the state bar. Because of the complex nature of divorce laws and related
regulation, each person interested in family law matters should retain qualified, local, legal counsel to review
plans and approve all documents before taking any action.
