As your representative, we will be on your side from start to finish.
Child custody: If you have children, you will be advised as to the available parenting plans which may meet your children’s best interests and accommodate your unique family circumstances and scheduling needs. This is your opportunity to share any and all concerns you may have as to how custody will be determined. You will learn about the process the court uses to determine custody and visitation as well as the alternative methods available for parents that agree to resolve custody and visitation by agreement.
Child and spousal support: You will be asked the necessary questions about your marital finances and provided comprehensive answers to your legal questions so that you have a clear understanding as to what you can expect to pay/be paid in child and spousal support, so that you may plan out your financial future.
Attorney fee awards: During your consult, you will be advised as to the California laws that may be applied to your case to secure payment of your attorneys’ fees from your spouse if your spouse makes more money than you. If you make more money than your spouse, you will be advised as to the California laws that may protect you from paying fees if your spouse behaves unreasonably and frustrates settlement.
Division of assets: You will have the opportunity to provide all the information about your marital assets so that you may learn what assets will likely remain yours, as well as what assets will likely be deemed community assets and be divided by agreement or a court order. By the end of the meeting, you will have an action plan with clear deadline to assist you in accessing the financial resources you require to start living the life you deserve.
