Familierecht is een belangrijk onderdeel van het burgerlijk recht dat zich bezighoudt met de juridische aspecten van het familieleven, van de geboorte tot na het overlijden. Het familierecht in Nederland is vastgelegd in het Burgerlijk Wetboek en wordt daarnaast beïnvloed door internationale verdragen zoals het Europees Verdrag voor de Rechten van de Mens (EVRM).
Onder het familierecht vallen verschillende onderwerpen zoals huwelijkse voorwaarden, echtscheiding, alimentatie, ouderdomspensioen, ouderschapsplannen, naamswijziging, het gezag over kinderen, boedelverdeling en erfrecht. Deze zaken gaan vaak gepaard met sterke emoties en vereisen een zorgvuldige aanpak om zowel de materiële als immateriële belangen van alle betrokkenen te beschermen.
