Unlock Better Possibilities with Our Comprehensive Family Law Services

Your family law matter, like every other family law matter we handle, is unique. Working with a Riverside County family law attorney from our firm will guarantee that you will receive personalized attention and customized legal solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Below are just some of the family law services we offer:

Divorce

California Family Code 2310-2313 provides for the dissolution of marriage, also known as divorce. To obtain a divorce in California, either spouse must: 

a) Meet the residency requirements, which include living in California for at least six months and in the county where they are filing for divorce for at least three months,

b) File a petition for dissolution of marriage with the court, and 

c) Serve the other spouse with the petition.

The grounds for divorce in California are usually irreconcilable differences, meaning that the marriage has broken down and there is no chance of reconciliation. Being a no-fault state, California courts do not consider fault when dividing assets and determining spousal support. Instead, they focus on equitable distribution and the best interests of any children involved.

Our Riverside County divorce lawyers fully understand the complexities of divorce and can guide you through the process while protecting your rights and interests. We handle all aspects of divorce, including child custody and support, property division, spousal support, and more.

Legal Separation

Legal separation allows a couple to live apart and divide their assets and debts while remaining legally married. It is an alternative for couples who do not want to get divorced but cannot continue living together. To obtain a legal separation in California, the same residency requirements must be met as in divorce cases.

During a legal separation, the court can still make orders regarding child custody and support, spousal support, and property division. However, unlike divorce, you remain legally married and cannot remarry until you obtain a final judgment of dissolution of marriage.

Our skilled Riverside County family lawyers can assist you with navigating the legal separation process and ensuring that your rights are protected during this difficult time.

Paternity Actions

Paternity actions are legal proceedings used to establish the identity of a child’s biological father. This may be necessary if there is uncertainty or disagreement about who the father is, or in cases where the alleged father denies paternity.

In Riverside County, paternity can be established through voluntary acknowledgment by both parents, genetic testing, or court order. Once paternity has been determined, the father may be required to provide financial support for the child and may also have rights to custody and visitation.

Our Riverside County family lawyers can help you with all aspects of a paternity action, from establishing paternity to determining custody and support arrangements. We understand the emotional complexities involved in these cases and will work tirelessly to protect your rights and the best interests of your child.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation can be one of the most contentious issues in a divorce or legal separation. California has two types of child custody: physical and legal. Physical custody refers to where the child primarily resides, while legal custody involves decision-making authority for the child’s welfare.

When determining child custody arrangements, the court will consider factors such as the child’s best interests, each parent’s relationship with the child, and any history of abuse or neglect. 

Our experienced child custody and visitation attorneys in Riverside County can help you navigate this complex process and advocate for a parenting plan that serves your child’s best interests.

Child Support

Child support in Riverside County, California is determined based on a formula that takes into account both parents’ income, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, and any special needs or expenses for the child. 

If you are seeking child support or need to modify an existing child support order, our family law attorneys can help you understand your rights and obligations under California’s guidelines.

Spousal Support

In some cases, one spouse may be entitled to financial support from the other during and after a divorce. This is known as spousal support or alimony. The amount and duration of spousal support payments are determined by several factors, including the length of marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, and their respective financial needs.

Our family lawyers in Riverside County, California can help you negotiate a fair spousal support arrangement or advocate for your rights in court. We understand the financial impact of a divorce and will work to protect your interests.

Division of Assets and Debts

California is a community property state, meaning that any assets or debts acquired during the marriage are considered equally owned by both spouses.
