Family Law Attorneys
in California

A divorce attorney can guide you through the requirements of the process in California, the necessary documentation, and the issues that may require a court decision.

• Child Custody

Child custody disputes can be one of the most difficult parts of a separation. Parents often have concerns about where their children will live and how decisions will be made regarding their care.

• Visitation Rights and Parenting Time

Maintaining a meaningful relationship with your children is important to many parents after a separation. However, disagreements about schedules, holidays, exchanges, and visitation can become a constant source of conflict.

• Child Support

Child support is intended to help cover children's financial needs. In California, the calculation may depend on several factors, including the parents' incomes, parenting time, and other circumstances considered under the law.

• Spousal Support or Alimony

After a separation or divorce, one spouse may request financial support from the other, depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.

• Division of Assets and Debts

Dividing assets and financial obligations can lead to disagreements during a divorce. Bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, savings, debts, and other assets may require careful evaluation.

• Modification of Family Court Orders

Family circumstances can change over time. A job change, a significant change in income, a relocation, or new needs involving the children may make it necessary to review certain court orders.

• Legal Separation

Some couples wish to live separately and resolve financial matters or issues involving their children without legally ending their marriage through divorce.

• Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

When threats, abuse, or domestic violence are involved, safety can become an immediate priority.
