We offer high quality and personal representation in the following matters:
Divorce
Divorce/Dissolution: Our lawyers work to minimize the stress and turmoil of a divorce, especially when children are involved.
Termination of Domestic Partnerships: The breakup of a domestic partnership has most of the same issues as those involved in a divorce.
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce: Many of the most difficult (and expensive) aspects of divorce disappear if the parties agree. We focus on making this happen. When it cannot, we handle a contested divorce, taking it to trial when necessary.
Property Rights (Simple and Complex): We use our extensive knowledge of California law to make sure our client is treated fairly in the division of community property.
Property Settlements: We represent our clients effectively during any divorce property settlement negotiations.
Business Valuations and Business Controllable Cash Flow: As part of the division of property in a divorce, any businesses must be properly valuated including any business cash flow.
Spousal Support/Alimony: Our law firm has the experience to protect our clients in determining temporary and permanent spousal support.
Child Custody and Child Support
Child Support: We represent clients seeking fair resolution of support disputes including both initial and permanent support orders.
Wage Assignments (Collections of Support): Our office assists in the creation, modification and termination of wage assignments.
Child Custody and Visitation: We help clients resolve custody and visitation disputes, resulting in orders that represent the best interest of the child(ren).
Communicating with Your Children: We encourage our clients to keep lines of communication open and honest with their child(ren) during what can be a very difficult time for them as well.
Modifications and Relocations
Modification of Custody and Support: When there is a substantial change in circumstances by one of the parties, the court can change ("modify") the current custody and support orders.
Parental Relocations/Move-Aways: It is illegal for a parent to move a child from the area without court authorization. We help parents both pursue and defend relocation petitions.
Parental Rights and Guardianships
Parental Rights/Paternity: Establishing parental relationships (often referred to as "paternity") creates a legal relationship between a parent and a child. It also confers all legal rights and responsibilities of parenthood.
Parental Alienation: If you feel you are being alienated from your child, we will seek having your rights as a parent justly restored.
Guardianships: We can provide you with skilled guidance on how to obtain a guardianship and the proper procedures.
Grandparents' Rights: Under California laws, grandparents can petition for visitation rights. However, recent case law has made this difficult. We can help.
Stepparent Adoptions: We are knowledgeable in local stepparent adoption laws and help represent you.
Mediation and Collaborative Law
Mediation/Collaborative Law: Mediation and collaborative law are important tools when it comes to resolving family law issues in a manner that can benefit all parties involved.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence: Domestic violence is not just between husbands and wives. It is used to describe violence between domestic partners, parents and children, siblings, and in dating relationships.
