Divorce Legal Services
There are several legal matters that need to be addressed in a divorce case:
- Property division — Dividing assets in divorce is often a contentious issue. Most divorces involve dividing property acquired before and during marriage, retirement accounts, pension plans, real estate, and business assets.
- Alimony/spousal maintenance — Alimony (support paid from one spouse to the less-moneyed spouse following divorce) is not automatic. If you are seeking alimony, or if you believe you will be required to pay alimony, we can explain your rights and legal options.
- Child custody/visitation — If you and your spouse have children, a child custody and visitation arrangement will need to be established. California family courts consider what is best for each child involved when making these determinations.
- Child support — Both parents are expected to provide financially for their children. In California, the amount of child support paid from one parent to another is determined using a child support calculator.
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce
Our firm assists clients with both contested and uncontested divorces. If you and your spouse agree on every applicable legal issue relating to your divorce, we can proceed with uncontested divorce proceedings. However, if you disagree on one important legal matter or several, the divorce is considered contested. In these cases, we work tirelessly to help you seek optimal results. While we will seek a fair divorce settlement by negotiating with the other side, we are not afraid to go to court and apply our litigation experience to fully protect your interests.
