Marriage and Child Support
The law of marriage, divorce and child support, called "domestic relations", is a critical area of everyday law. Each state has a different idea of how the property of a marriage should be divided and how children should be taken care of in case of divorce. Even if you were married outside the United States, once you become a resident of a state (you needn't be a citizen), these laws will apply to you.
