Family law in Jamaica addresses a wide range of legal issues related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, spousal and child maintenance, adoption and guardianship, division of property, matters of succession, and domestic violence. These laws aim to protect the rights and well-being of individuals within a family unit, ensuring fair and just outcomes in familial disputes.

In Jamaica, family law is primarily governed by the Matrimonial Causes Act, the Maintenance Act, and the Domestic Violence Act. These laws outline the process for marriage, divorce, child custody, and support, as well as the protections available to victims of domestic violence. 

I carefully navigate all my clients through all the legal aspects of family relationships, from agreements made in anticipation of marriage or cohabitation to the dissolution of those relationships, which often requires meticulously prepared property settlements, child custody agreements and succession plans.

If you are considering filing for divorce, seeking child custody or support, drafting prenuptial agreements, or addressing issues of domestic violence, then I am the lawyer for you!
