Family Law Issues We Handle

Every family’s situation is different, but many people in Glendale face similar legal questions when relationships change. We handle a wide range of family law matters and work to understand what is most important to you before developing a legal strategy.

• Divorce is one of the most common reasons people contact our office. In a California divorce, you will generally need to address division of community property and debts, support, and, if you have children, parenting arrangements. We help clients understand what the law says about these topics and how courts often view issues such as the family home, retirement accounts, and long-term support.
• Child custody and visitation disputes can be especially stressful. Parents are often concerned about how much time they will have with their children and who will make important decisions about schooling, health care, and activities. We work with parents to pursue parenting plans that focus on the children’s well-being and reflect the realities of each family’s schedule. When a case is heard in Los Angeles County family courts that serve Glendale residents, we draw on our experience with how those courts tend to approach custody and parenting time.
• Child support and, in some cases, spousal support are also key issues. California uses specific guidelines to calculate child support, and there are various factors that can influence a court’s decision on support amounts. Our goal is to help clients understand these guidelines, gather the information they need, and advocate for support orders that are fair under the law.

We also assist with related family law concerns, such as paternity matters and requests for protective orders in situations involving domestic violence. These cases can have serious consequences for safety, housing, and contact with children. We approach these matters with care and a focus on both legal rights and day-to-day impact.

We commonly assist clients with matters such as:

• Divorce and legal separation under California law
• Child custody, visitation, and parenting plans
• Child support and spousal support issues
• Modifications or enforcement of existing family court orders
• Paternity and parentage matters
• Domestic violence restraining orders and related protections
