San Diego, California, Family Law Attorney
Family law courts, like other courts, do not "automatically" award the fairest and most optimal decisions to parties going through the family law legal process. Instead, family law courts offer the opportunity for fairness and maximum rights by responding to the information and persuasion provided by the participants.
If you face a pending divorce or face family law issues such as visitation rights, child custody, division of property, or child or spousal support, an experienced family law attorney can work as your advocate in the family law courts, and fight for your maximum family law rights. For example:
- Courts enjoy much discretion when using and interpreting state guidelines to determine fair child support and spousal support payments. Should seasonal income be included in your spouse's total income? Are you entitled to a hardship deduction? Should a retirement account be included as income?
- The division of marital property can rapidly become complex. Who owns the retirement accounts? How much is your California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) account worth? Is your spouse hiding assets?
- The family law courts rely on you to provide information on which to base a fair child custody decision. Who has acted as the child's primary caretaker? Are both parents' psychological profiles sound? Who has made important education and medical decisions for the child in the past?
