Seeking Positive Outcomes, One Client at a Time
Family law matters are as unique as the people facing them. A divorce or child custody matter can be a traumatic and emotional event for all parties involved. But sensitive, responsive legal representation can go a long way toward resolving family law issues effectively.
At the Family Law Center — based just outside Santa Rosa, California — our two separate solo attorneys are exclusively dedicated to family law. If you are looking for a lawyer who will handle your case with personal attention to your specific goals, we encourage you to contact us.
Handling All Types of Family Law Cases
Family law encompasses a range of situations in which the legal system plays a role in addressing people's family circumstances. The lawyers at our center counsel and represent clients in all types of family law cases, including but not limited to the following:
- Divorce: Our attorneys handle all aspects of divorce, including child custody and support, temporary and permanent spousal support and the division of community property.
- Custody and support: We assist clients with the establishment and post-judgment modification of child custody parenting plans and child support orders.
- Same-sex couple issues: We help same-sex couples understand how their family law cases are impacted by the past decade's rapid, confusing legal developments.
- Paternity: When a child has been born to unmarried parents, it may be necessary to establish parentage before the family court can issue child custody or support orders.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: California law allows couples, under certain circumstances, to enter into private agreements concerning their marital obligations.
Adopting an Approach Tailored to Your Goals
Family law disputes and concerns can be resolved in a number of ways. Our attorneys frequently go to court and are prepared to litigate all types of disputes. However, litigation can be expensive and unpredictable, so many people prefer to pursue negotiated settlements.
We provide each client with the level of service that he or she needs. In many cases, we provide traditional full-service legal representation. In other cases, we provide unbundled services, handling specific tasks such as document preparation and court appearances.
