Why Hire a Family Law Attorney?

California’s divorce rate in 2022 was 5.9, which was lower than the U.S. divorce rate of 7.1. Divorce rates are relatively low and on the decline, but thousands of individuals in the Golden State are getting divorced and need the help of an effective and compassionate family law attorney.

It is advised to hire a family law attorney for any divorce proceedings, not just contested divorces. Family lawyers also assist with legal tasks unrelated to divorce, such as creating a prenuptial agreement, adopting a child, or having a restraining order put in place. Dealing with family law issues is stressful. Having a Certified Family Law Specialist on your side will help to alleviate some of that stress and allow you to focus on moving on with your life.

Areas of Family Law Practice

Our team understands the complexities of family law disputes. We’re familiar with all the relevant California laws and codes and can bring our knowledge and experience to bear on your case to help you achieve a positive result. Areas of the law that fall under the purview of family law include:

• Divorce. People dissolve their marriages for all kinds of reasons. No matter why you want to bring yours to an end, we can provide legal representation and support your interests throughout the process, whether you anticipate a contested or an uncontested divorce.
• Child custody. Some divorcing couples choose to share custody, while others may have one parent assigned sole custody over any minor children. We can help you pursue a solution that’s right for you and ensure that your children’s best interests are prioritized.
• Child support. Child custody isn’t the only way to provide a child with support. Monetary support from the non-custodial parent can also make a big difference in a child’s life. We can help you with child support calculations and adjustments.
• Spousal support. Spousal support allows partners who rely on their spouses financially to maintain a stable standard of living throughout their divorce and beyond. We can examine your circumstances to determine if spousal support is an appropriate solution.
• Property division. Dividing assets and debts is a complicated process. California is a community property state, but that doesn’t mean every item can be split perfectly down the middle. Let us simplify this challenging process for you and make sure you obtain what you are entitled to during property division.
• Divorce agreement modifications. Sometimes, spousal support, child support, or child custody agreements need to be modified after a divorce has been finalized. We can help you make modifications if your life circumstances change.
• Prenuptial agreements. Family lawyers can also help with establishing prenuptial agreements that protect your assets before you enter into a marriage.
• Restraining orders. Our family law attorneys can also help you with the process of taking out a restraining order for you or your child should the need arise.

Most family law cases will be handled at the Justice Family Center Courthouse in San Jose if your family law case proceeds to court, and we can confidently advocate for you while protecting your rights.

FAQs

How Much Does a Family Law Attorney Cost in California?

How much a family law attorney costs in California varies depending on factors such as the complexity of your case and the experience level of your attorney. If you anticipate going through a straightforward, uncontested divorce, it will cost less than a contested one with many issues to resolve. You can get a clear idea of what to expect in terms of cost by contacting our law firm to schedule a consultation.

What Is the Ten-Year Rule in California Marriage?

The ten-year rule in California marriage refers to whether your marriage is considered short-term or long-term. Long-term marriages are handled differently than short-term ones during divorces, with spousal support often lasting longer for financially dependent spouses in long-term marriages. Spouses can also collect Social Security benefits on their ex-spouses’ earnings records following divorce if they’ve been married for longer than ten years.

What Is the Three-Parent Law in California?

The three-parent law in California refers to Family Code 7612, which allows courts to legally recognize more than two parents for a child in cases where it would be detrimental to their well-being not to do so. The law protects children in non-traditional family structures and ensures that adults who are acting as parents have their parental rights recognized, even if they are not biological or adoptive parents.

Who Wins Most Child Custody Cases?

Historically, more mothers have won child custody cases, but that is slowly changing. Around 78.2% of custodial parents were mothers in 2022. However, there is evidence that a shift is occurring, and more fathers are pursuing and obtaining primary custody. Other factors, such as each parent’s fitness, play a larger role in today’s courts than gender, and joint custody is now typically preferred.
