Guiding You Through the Divorce Process

Division of community property and debts: During your divorce, you and your spouse must divide marital property and debt. Our attorneys will help you develop creative solutions that position you for financial security after your divorce.
Child custody: There are many possibilities for child custody arrangements in California. We will help you create a custody plan that protects your rights and your child's best interests.
Parenting time: Visitation is one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. Our attorneys will assess your situation and help you create a parenting time schedule that is in the best interests of your child.
Child support: In California, child support is determined by guidelines that consider each parent's income and the amount of custody or visitation that each parent has with the child. We will ensure that your child support arrangement is fair and meets the needs of your child.
Spousal support: The California courts consider several factors when determining the amount and duration of alimony. Our lawyers will advocate on your behalf, whether you are requesting spousal support or resisting unfavorable terms.
