FAMILY LAW LEGAL SERVICES
Divorce and Legal Separation
When you and your spouse decide to legally separate or get a divorce, there are a lot of details to iron out. For example, if you have children or joint assets, you need to come to an agreement on how these items will be maintained or distributed moving forward. This can be challenging to do in the absence of experienced legal counsel as emotions are running high. An experienced family law attorney is well-versed in California matrimony laws and working with one can make a stressful situation less so.
Child Custody
Not surprisingly, child custody matters can be some of the most heated cases in family law. You want what is best for your child and unfortunately, this might not always coincide with what your soon-to-be ex feels is best. Working with a child custody attorney can help streamline even the most complex matters and protect your legal rights as a parent. Whether you need help setting up a custody agreement that is suitable for your unique situation or you need assistance modifying an existing custody order, our team can help.
Spousal and Child Support
Creating a child custody agreement that you and your spouse agree on is just the first step in making sure your child’s best interests are accounted for after you and your spouse divorce. Getting the financial assistance you need from your ex to do so is the next step and our experienced child support attorney can help you with that. Additionally, you may be entitled to spousal support from your ex-partner. Our family law firm can review the specifics of your case and help you fight for the financial support you are entitled to after your divorce.
Grandparents Rights
When a couple divorces and they have children, the rights of the children’s grandparents are often forgotten about. One or both parents may fail to maintain an active role in your grandchild’s life for one reason or another, but that does not mean that you have to give up your rights. Our family law firm is well-versed in California grandparents’ rights legislation and we are more than happy to help you assert and fight for your right to seeing and caring for your grandchildren.
WHY HIRE A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY?
In the beginning stages of your family law matter, it might be tempting to consider representing yourself in order to cut back on expenses. There are a few key reasons why it is worthwhile to consider hiring experienced legal counsel to help you out:
