Family law attorneys do many different things when we handle cases on your behalf. Although the services we provide will vary depending upon the specific kind of case that you are involved in, some of the tasks that we can handle on your behalf include:
- Filing court paperwork: We can assist you in filing for divorce, filing for annulment, seeking an order of protection, or asking the court for a custody or support modification. There are specific requirements for when, where, and how you must file motions and pleadings within the California family court system. We understand the procedural rules and will make sure you comply.
- Negotiating divorce settlements and custody arrangements: We help to make the negotiation process easy by dealing with your ex’s lawyer on your behalf and by explaining default California rules so you know what types of outcomes are reasonable.
- Advising you of your rights: As you negotiate a divorce settlement or go through any family court process, you need to know what your rights are so you do not give up property, access to your kids, or anything else that matters to you based on a misconception of the law that you might have.
- Going through divorce mediation: Mediation is a very common way to resolve disputes over the issues that arise in divorce. We can help you to work with a mediator so you can increase the chances of resolving your issues outside of court.
