Types of Family Law Cases

Family law matters encompass a wide range of legal issues related to the family unit. These issues may include: 

• Adoption. This legal process occurs Adoption is the legal process by which an adult becomes the parent of another person who is not biologically related to them. In the case of girls and boys under eighteen (18) years of age, the State must define their situation with the special purpose of guaranteeing them, when they are in a state of adoptability, their right to develop in an appropriate family environment. In Honduras, adoption requires 2 processes:
  • The Administrative process, which is known by the Directorate of Children, Adolescents and Family (DINAF – la Dirección De Niñez, Adolescencia y Familia).
  • Judicial Process, which is known by the Family Court of First Instance. In both, all the requirements established in the Special Adoption Law and its Regulations must be met.
• Annulment. An annulment is a legal procedure that voids a marriage, making it as if it never existed. In Honduras, a marriage can be voided in 4 ways:
  • When it is contracted by those who lack the legal capacity to do so.
  • An annulment may be granted if one or both parties were under the age of 18 at the time of the marriage.
  • When it is contracted through an error in the person, coercion or intimidation that vitiates the marriage consent and,
  • Due to absolute impotence that prevents the marital relationship. if either party was already married to another person or if either party was mentally incapacitated at the time of the marriage.
• Child custody/visitation. Custody refers to which parent has legal authority over decisions regarding their child or children’s upbringing. In Honduras, custody and care can be granted through an agreement between both parents or through judicial proceedings in which a judge will make a determination based on what he/she believes is best for the child or children involved.
• Child support. Child support is money paid by one parent to another in order to help support their child or children financially. In Honduras, food is understood to be everything that is essential for the integral development of a person, such as sustenance, housing, clothing, medical assistance, comprehensive training, and education. Alimony or child support payments are determined based on each parent’s income and other factors, such as health insurance costs and day care expenses.
• Dissolution of marriage. Divorce or dissolution is the legal process of ending a marriage. In Honduras, the Dissolution of marriage occurs for the following reasons:
  • Due to the death of one (1) of the Spouses.
  • Due to the Presumption of death of one (1) of the spouses, declared in accordance with the law.
  • By declaration of nullity of the marriage; and
  • By final sentence that declares the Divorce.
  • The Divorce process requires filing a petition before the Family Court, to dissolve the marriage bond that produces effects indicated in the Family Code, and obtain a final ruling from a judge.
• Guardianship. This family law matter refers to a legal process where an adult is appointed to care for the physical and/or financial well-being of another person who is either unable or unfit to do so themselves.
• Marital agreements. Marital agreements are legal documents that set out the terms and conditions of a couple’s relationship. These agreements can include prenuptial agreements, post-marital agreements, and marital settlement agreements.
• Mediation. This alternative dispute resolution is a process where a neutral third party helps two parties work out their differences and reach an agreement.
• Name changes. A name change is a legal process that allows an individual to change their name for any reason. In Florida, individuals must file a petition with the court and appear before a judge to obtain approval for their name change.
• Parental rights. Parental rights are the legal rights and responsibilities that parents have regarding their child or children. These rights can include the right to make decisions regarding a child’s upbringing and education, as well as financial support for the child.
• Paternity. Paternity is the legal determination of who a child’s biological father is. In Honduras, paternity can be established through an agreement between both parents or through judicial proceedings in which a judge will make a determination based on genetic and other evidence.
