Harold Homes is a family law paralegal

Let us first see what a family law paralegal does as part of his/her profession.

A family law paralegal assists her employer in delivering family law services to clients. Effective paralegals working in this area of law will know something about custody, divorce, tax & finance law, adoption, and even the social services available in the area. Because many matrimonial matters end up in court, a working knowledge of litigation and family court rules is essential. These paralegals will need to anything from filing motions or pleadings and preparing discovery to searching financial or tax records and arranging mediation. The para-professional here will likely be the liaison person between the client and the attorney; someone able to handle not just the legal side, but also the human, emotional aspect of this type of practice.

While lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact, paralegals?also called legal assistants?are continuing to assume a growing range of tasks in the Nation's legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as lawyers. Nevertheless, they are still explicitly prohibited from carrying out duties that are considered to be the practice of law, such as setting legal fees, giving legal advice, and presenting cases in court.
