Compassionate Family Law Services

There is more to divorce than deciding who will get the house and other assets. After building a life together and sharing finances, it can be difficult to create a new life on a single income. Courts will often require spouses to pay support, which can include:

Money paid to a spouse while he or she establishes or rebuilds a career
Support to provide for the needs of a child

We can help you understand the factors that courts consider when setting both child and spousal support so you can plan and move forward with your separate lives.

Dealing With Domestic Violence

Unfortunately, some divorce cases involve domestic abuse. Many victims fail to take action when they are abused. If you have been abused by a loved one, it is important to understand your legal rights and how to protect yourself. Sometimes, individuals find themselves accused of perpetrating domestic abuse on a loved one. An alleged perpetrator of abuse also has legal rights and needs to understand what can be done to protect himself or herself.

It is important to talk with a lawyer right away about your case whether you are seeking a restraining order for protection or a court has ordered you to stay away from someone accusing you of abuse.

Asset Division In Divorce

It can be difficult to determine how to divide the marital estate in a divorce. Most couples own a variety of high-value assets, such as businesses or real property, and common assets like furniture. Some couples, along with traditional assets, share nontraditional assets like airline miles and bitcoin accounts.

Since California is a community property state, all of the assets accumulated during the marriage (with some exceptions) will need to be considered when dividing property.
