Family law and divorce are two highly emotional areas of law. Our family law practice provides calm, confident energy that can anchor you during a difficult family law case.
Our law clinic specializes in family law matters—from child custody and support to property division. Our team provides legal advice that will help you get the best possible results. We can also prepare you for the ins and outs of going through a divorce process—making sure you are properly represented.
During your initial consultation, we’ll learn a bit about your situation and your legal goals. From there, we will help you create a plan, as well as take care of legal issues such as drafting agreements or checking them for unfair requirements.
Our family law group takes on cases concerning child custody and visitation.
Physical custody determines who lives with the child, while legal custody determines who has the right to make decisions about a child’s education, medical care, and other important areas of life.
If you are seeking full custody of your children, for example, you’ll need to make a convincing argument for why you should be the custodial parent. Usually, the noncustodial parent can still share legal custody and set up a visitation schedule, unless otherwise ordered in family court.
In addition to custody concerns, we also establish paternity so you can get the financial support you are legally entitled to, schedule visitation, and more.
We can also help you understand child support orders and how they may affect you. California uses a complex calculator to determine the child support a parent owes.
Our family law professionals will always protect your financial interests. We understand that during a divorce, you may be facing financial hardships due to your changing life circumstances.
We want to make sure that your interests are well-represented in court, whether you are seeking alimony or making a case that you cannot afford the financial burden.
Forensic accountants, for example, are skilled at digging deep into you or your spouse’s finances. They can provide the proof you need to argue your point of view in court.
Many states call for the equitable distribution of property after divorce. California, however, uses the community property approach, which means that property or debts collected during the marriage should be split evenly between spouses.
The split isn’t automatically applied, and it’s possible to argue that certain assets or real estate are not included in the category of marital property. Business valuations are another asset up for debate.
Even if you have a prenuptial agreement, there may be some legal issues to iron out with your spouse. Don’t take chances with your valuable assets or property. Our experienced lawyer can walk you through your options and potential arguments.
Clients can discuss their case with a family lawyer in a free initial consultation. Our attorney can give you a realistic idea of what you can expect and a plan for how we can help. We work to cut our clients’ costs and get you efficient results in negotiations and the courtroom.
Our years of experience working on divorce and child custody cases allow us to strategize effectively according to your legal needs. We have valuable insight into all the issues involved, from divorce settlements to parenting plans.
