How we help

List of All Family Law Services

  • Divorce

    We guide you through every phase—from filing to final judgment—with strategy and compassion. Whether it’s contested, amicable, or high-conflict, you don’t have to face it alone. Read more about how divorce works in California.

  • Child Custody

    We help protect your parental rights while prioritizing your child’s well-being. Joint custody, sole custody, holiday schedules—let us build a plan that fits your life. See our child custody attorney page for more information.

  • Child Support

    Whether you’re seeking support or facing a demand for payment, we fight for what’s fair—and help you understand how California calculates support.

  • Alimony (Spousal Support)

    We represent both payors and recipients. Whether you’re worried about being left with nothing or forced to pay too much, we help you find balance.

  • Asset Division

    From homes to business assets, we divide property with fairness and foresight. Whether through a prenup or postnup, protect what you’ve built and secure your future.

  • Mediation

    Not every case needs to be a battle. We offer private, neutral mediation for couples seeking respectful resolution outside the courtroom.

It’s a story we hear far too often. The truth is: love doesn’t protect your rights. A strong legal strategy does.

“He kept the house, took the kids, and still wanted alimony.”

Common questions

Questions about family law

What if we both agree on the divorce?

Great! We can help make the process efficient and peaceful through uncontested divorce or mediation.

How is child support calculated in California?

It’s a formula based on income, time spent with the child, and more. But there are exceptions—and we know how to advocate for your rights.

Will I lose half of everything?

Not necessarily. Asset division depends on what’s considered separate vs. community property. We’ll help you sort it out.

Can I modify custody or support later?

Yes. Courts allow post-judgment modifications if your circumstances change. We can help you petition for updates.

Do I need a lawyer for mediation?

Not always—but it helps. We offer both mediation services and legal guidance during mediation to ensure your rights are protected.

Some divorce cases involve persistent conflict. Read about high-conflict divorce representation when that describes your situation. For a related divorce topic, see AI Divorce.
