Unfortunately, family law, much like crim law, is seen as a "lower" (less prestigious) form of law. There's no benefit to being exposed to contested or uncontested divorce cases because most litigation firms believe (rightly) that the type of work performed in a civil matter is different from civil family law situations.

If you want to leave family law, do it as soon as possible so that you do not become too expensive to train. Once you hit past a certain level, you're screwed as you're too expensive to train.
