Contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation.

We work with men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the initial filing through post-judgment requests for modification. We handle all matters arising out of divorce, including:

• Child custody and visitation: We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that meet the needs of your children while protecting your rights as a parent. See our child custody and visitation/parenting time page to learn more.


• Child support: We help you confirm that any child support order complies with state guidelines and that all relevant income was considered before support was calculated. For more information, see our child support page.


• Alimony or spousal support: We work with you to determine whether alimony is warranted and if so, the amount, duration and frequency of payments. Visit our spousal support page for additional information.


• The division of marital property: We advise clients regarding the distribution of debts and assets of the marriage, taking into consideration California's laws governing community property. We help you equitably divide real estate and mortgage obligations, credit card debt, loans and vehicles, as well as investment accounts, business assets and retirement funds. We advise clients regarding designated separate property and asset reimbursement, such as Section 2460 reimbursements for inheritances. For additional information, see our page on the division of property.


• Use and possession orders: We will help you establish who will have exclusive use of the marital home, vehicles or other major assets while the finalization of the divorce is pending.

We also handle all matters related to allegations of domestic violence, including orders for protection. Rely on our strength and experience when protecting your safety or your rights.

Organized and Experienced Divorce Representation

When you hire us to handle your divorce, we will put together a comprehensive checklist of the items you need to resolve. Because we believe that the more you know about your situation, the more realistic your expectations will be, we work hard to make certain that you are always informed of the status of your case.

Though we are always prepared to take your case to trial, we have training in mediation and recommend this approach as a more cost-effective and ameliorative alternative in many different situations, including cases involving the rights of minors.

For a skilled and experienced divorce lawyer, contact us via e-mail or call us at 562-321-9296. Our telephones are answered 24 hours a day. We meet with clients during traditional business hours and evening and Saturday appointments are available upon request. We accept Visa and MasterCard.
