Divorce
Getting divorced is one of life’s most stressful experiences. We walk you through every step, from filing the initial paperwork to dividing your property and planning your new life. Our goal is to protect your rights and help you move forward with confidence.
Child Custody
Figuring out where your children will live and who makes important decisions about their lives is often the most emotional part of any family case. We help you create custody arrangements that work for your family and put your children’s needs first.
Child Support
California has specific rules about how much child support should be paid. Our family lawyers in Cypress will help you understand these guidelines and make sure your children get the financial support they deserve, whether you’re paying or receiving support.
Spousal Support
Sometimes after a divorce, one spouse needs financial help from the other for a while. This is called spousal support or alimony. Our attorneys will help you figure out if spousal support makes sense in your case and how much it should be under California law.
Property Division
Splitting up everything you and your spouse own can get messy fast. You need a law firm that can help you sort through houses, cars, bank accounts, retirement funds, and debts to make sure everything gets divided fairly according to California’s community property rules.
Paternity
When parents aren’t married, establishing who the legal father is can be important for custody, support, and inheritance rights. Our experienced Cypress family law attorneys help you through the legal process to confirm paternity and protect everyone’s rights.
Domestic Violence Protection
If you or your children are being threatened or hurt, getting a restraining order can help keep you safe. We help you understand how to get a domestic violence restraining order in California and work to protect you and your family.
Your Questions Answered About California Family Law
We hear these questions all the time from people going through family legal issues in California:
How long does a divorce take in California?
California has a six-month waiting period for all divorces. This means your divorce can’t be final until at least six months after your spouse gets served with the divorce papers. If you and your spouse agree on everything, it might be done right in six months. If you have to fight about custody, property, or support, it could take much longer.
What does “community property” mean in California?
California treats almost everything you earn or buy during your marriage as community property. This means it belongs to both spouses equally, even if only one person’s name is on the title. When you divorce, community property usually gets split 50/50. Property you owned before marriage or received as a gift stays separate.
How do California courts decide child custody?
California judges always make custody decisions based on what’s best for the child. They look at things like each parent’s relationship with the child, who has been the main caregiver, the child’s age and needs, and each parent’s ability to provide a stable home.
Do I have to go to court for my divorce?
Not always. Many couples can settle their divorce through talks with their lawyers or through mediation. If you can agree on custody, support, and property division, you might never see the inside of a courtroom. But if you can’t agree, a judge will have to make the decisions for you.
