2 Finding Help with your Family Law Problem This booklet is meant to give you a basic understanding of legal issues. It is not a substitute for individual legal advice and assistance. If you are dealing with family law issues, get legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights. For more information and a list of resources visit our website at Family breakdown is a difficult, stressful time for women and their children. If you and your partner separate, you will have to sort out many legal issues. You must decide about financial support, make arrangements about the children and divide your family property. These are difficult issues. Some couples are able to deal with them on their own. But in most cases, you will need some help to sort out these arrangements. When your relationship ends, you should have a lawyer who knows family law to help you. If you do not get legal advice, you may give up some important rights that you do not know you have. It is very important to have a lawyer help you if: your partner was abusive or violent; your partner tried to bully you or scare you; your partner has taken advantage of you; your partner has more power than you; you cannot read, speak or understand English; your partner has a lawyer. 2 flew Family Law Education for Women
