Remote family law attorneys handle the legal matters of families and relationships — divorce, child custody and support, adoption, and related disputes. While family law involves court appearances, a significant share of the work (client counseling, drafting, negotiation, and mediation) is handled remotely, and many firms now offer family law roles on a remote basis.
Remote family law roles sit primarily in law firms, ranging from associates handling case work to senior attorneys managing complex or high-net-worth matters. Strong candidates combine empathy and clear client communication with command of family law and procedure. Most postings require a JD, active bar admission, and family law experience. The roles below are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.
Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every family law attorney role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.

Yes — family law is state-specific, so these roles typically require admission and familiarity with the relevant state's family law and procedure. Requirements vary by employer and state; check each listing and confirm with the employer.
Compensation varies by experience and market, but remote family law attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $90,000 to $170,000+ in base salary, with high-net-worth and senior roles at the higher end. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
Commonly divorce and separation, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property division, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, adoption, and domestic relations disputes. Some roles focus on particular areas, such as high-net-worth divorce; listings usually indicate the emphasis.
