Dallas Family Law Section

my husbands ex ask for past due medical bills for about 10 years ago. she had medical insurance by child support but she said she never received the card. what really happend she denied the card. well know she is asking for 10,000.00 and the court favored her, but we are going to appeal by defense of laches because they told me that statue of limitation does not work for family law. can we do this?

Nope.

Laches is a similar concept to a statute of limitations. Basically, the argument is "you waited to long to make the claim".

But in a child support case (including providing insurance), the defense generally does not apply.

I have been researching various law schools, but I haven’t found any rankings when it comes to the concentration of family law. Which law school in the U.S. has the best family law courses?

Well, the fact is that any decent law school can prepare you for a career in family law. Some lawyers just fall into it as a result of professional experience over time.

However, what you want to do is look for schools that have specific concentrations with such titles as "Children and Family Law." These would offer such courses as Adoption Law, Child Welfare, Juvenile Law, Mediation (or Dispute Resolution), Elder Law, and so forth.

For example, Syracuse University has a Family Law and Social Policy Center of which students can take advantage. See below:

I need to find a family law facilitator to help find the forms I need to file for court procedures. I live in Forsyth County, City of Winston-Salem, NC.

They should have a web site where you should be able to find out how to get the forms you need.

I want to be a lawyer in family law. I would especially like to hear from lawyers. Anyway, I have a few questions. And I would like to know what to expect.

Education wise, what does it take to go into family law?
After you graduate? What happens?
How much should I expect to make right after law school?
What is the highest salary I could make?

Thanks for the answers!

well education -wise it depends on the state you live in, remember that family law is civil, from private law so it is relevant to the legal system you live/study in. you first have to finish law school then you can specialise but it depends on the state you are in, the education of a lawyer varies tremendously from country to country.
in europe you’d need a bachelor inlaws to start with, in england plus an llm in family law plus the practice, in belgium llb plus 2 years specialising and 3 years practise for warrant.

when you are a recognised lawyer in your country/state and you wish to travel you will have to take a bar exam before being able to practice, family law involves court work.
right after law school you might find a firm which will take you up and pay you not a lot, some firms don’t even pay before you get a warrant, which varies from 6 months to 3 years which you need.
but if you do decent work they will pay you.
you can start making money when you are a lawyer with a warrant, which will not happen as soon as you’re out of law school.

as regards to salary depends on your location, if you become a top divorce lawyer you can make millions…
