Personal & Relationship Law

Wordsmith Law offers comprehensive personal legal services — contract review and drafting, attorney representation through the life of a matter, or limited-scope consulting on a task-based or hourly basis — for relationships, dating and marriage, and personal reputation.

Relationship & Intimacy Contracts

  • Intimate Encounters Contract (Sexual Consent)
  • Relationship Contract
  • Premarital Contract (Prenuptial Agreement)
  • Postmarital Agreements

Marriage is, in most states, treated as a contractual relationship, and intimate or dating relationships benefit from clear, mutually understood agreements. We draft and review these contracts so all parties understand their legal rights and responsibilities from the outset.

Personal Reputation & Defamation

  • Personal Reputation Management
  • Defamation
  • Libel
  • Slander

Maintaining your personal reputation may involve personal data, social media, public speech, professional organizations, community groups, or religious and political affiliation — each of which can require specific legal action to manage properly.

Restraining Orders & Injunctions

  • Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)
  • Civil Restraining Orders (CROs)
  • Civil Injunctions

A temporary restraining order typically lasts 20–25 days; a civil restraining order can last up to five years and, in certain cases, be renewed. Civil injunctions can address neighbor disputes (smoke, noise, trespass), prevent irreparable injury, and enforce legal rights.
