The legal knowledge discussed above is required and utilized in the following sectors:
Drafting Legal Documents
Family cases involve drafting Legal notices, affidavits, Opinion Writing and other Court Documents etc depending on the case and which are Family Law it involves. For instance, if the case is about mutual divorce, a Family Lawyer usually drafts a document of agreement which is more like a contract between the husband and wife regarding their rights and obligation at the time of divorce and after. Such a contract usually states when and how much dower is left to be paid to the wife, who will have the custody of the child (if any), the amount of child maintenance that needs to be paid, when and how the parents can mean the child etc. This is done so that no dispute arises in future post-divorce.

That is when the family lawyer uses his legal knowledge to provide a legal opinion by pointing out which rule applies to their situation and what steps need to be taken in order to resolve the issue.
In addition, a Family Lawyer needs to have good communication skills so that he/she can deliver proper consultation and explain the legal opinion. This is because lay people do not understand the language and rules of law as such it is essential that the law and rights are explained properly to the clients. Moreover, this helps the client to understand the solution advised by the Lawyer by which proper transparency can be maintained between the client and the Lawyer. In doing so the Lawyer must be patient to the client.
Litigation
Family matters should not drag into court. Most of the Family disputes should resolve outside court. Therefore, the Family Lawyer must have sufficient negotiation skills in resolving disputes.
However, it is not always possible to solve the dispute outside court. In that case, the matter will be taken to the family court. Therefore, it is very important that the Family Lawyer is enrolled on the Dhaka Judge Court and the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. In addition, the Lawyer need to be properly aware of the court procedure and this comes with experience in the legal field. Therefore, before choosing a family lawyer you must look into his/her experience in this sector.
Updates on pending cases
It is noteworthy that family cases such as Domestic Violence or succession cases usually take a long time to get resolved. In addition, the client do not always need to be present for all court hearing. Therefore, it is essential that the Lawyer keep the Client updated about the status of the case at regular intervals.
Cost of a Family Lawyer
A good Family Lawyer will try to keep the cost of proceeding low and provide an invoice for the expenses incurred in the process. For instance, if the Lawyer keep making amendments in legal documents submitted to the court or miss a hearing date etc then it increases the cost of the proceeding. The good Lawyer will need to take care of all these matters and should use his legal knowledge to ensure that the cost does not increase unnecessarily.
In a nutshell, a lawyer especially a Barrister having proper training knows how to handle a client and a case efficiently. A good Family lawyer will make your time and money worth it with his service and behaviour. Sometimes, a Lawyer wins a case for the client but the client can still not be happy.
