For purposes of the board certification program in Texas, the term "family law" is defined to involve a wide range of family issues including marriage, divorce proceedings, legal custody and adoption, distribution of assets and ownership of property acquired before and during the marriage. A board certified attorney in family law is expected to understand all aspects of marriage dissolution, including conservatorship, child support, marital property, COBRA and ERISA.
