ELLEN B. RITTGERS: In domestic relations practice or family law practice, I focus on divorce and custody. Divorce, of course, will involve division of all assets, allocation of debt, the matters of spousal support. I think of custody as almost a different area of the law. We're focusing on the children or on the child.
JASON A. SHOWEN: Bad things happen to good people at lot. It's a very emotionally charged business. It's a very emotionally charged situation. It's next to death. Many think divorce is the most devastating thing that could happen to somebody.
There's so many areas inside of a domestic relations case that have the potential of going awry that you may need the court's assistance, which may mean that you have to physically try the case.
RENEE L. CRIST: One party might accuse the other of either abusing them, harassing them, stalking them. So then the other party has the option to go in the domestic relations court and ask for a civil protection order. And what that does is that then prevents the other party from continuing to abuse, harass, and stalk them. And then they have to move out of the residence at that time.
JASON A. SHOWEN: It's something that's prevalent in society today, whether we like it or not. You spend a lot of time in the courtroom. And you're constantly preparing for court. You're constantly preparing how to try the case, your witnesses. Divorce is as traumatic as a death in the family may be.
ELLEN B. RITTGERS: It's a more emotional area of law than many other areas of law.
