Divorce in Danville

Every divorce is unique, and our attorneys tailor their approach to meet your individual needs and goals. We guide you through the divorce process and work toward optimal resolutions in all the major divorce issues:

  • Child Custody
  • Visitation and Parenting Time
  • Child Support
  • Division of Marital Property
  • Division of Marital Debts
  • Temporary Orders
  • Spousal Support

Understanding Child Support

In California, parents are legally required to support their children—in most cases until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever comes later.

The court calculates child support using a set formula that factors in:

  • The number of children
  • Each parent’s income
  • The percentage of parenting time

Child Support Modification in Danville CA

Child support is subject to modification when there are significant changes in a parent’s income or financial circumstances. Our experienced family law team advocates for appropriate adjustments that serve the best interests of children.

Child Custody

By law, the court must always prioritize the best interests of the child when making custody decisions. This involves considering many factors. Our compassionate attorneys advocate for parents’ rights, working toward resolutions that balance the needs of both the parents and the children, whether through negotiation or trial. Child custody and visitation disputes can be highly contentious. We encourage collaboration and do everything possible to shield your child from conflict in the custody process.

Child Custody Modification

As children grow and family dynamics evolve, it may be necessary to modify existing custody or visitation plans. Our attorneys are here to help you navigate this process and file a successful request for changes that serve the child’s best interests.

Asset Division in Danville CA

California’s community property laws dictate that all assets and debts acquired during marriage be divided equally. While this division may seem straightforward, in practice, asset division can be quite challenging, involving complex valuations, tax implications, and financial analysis. With over 30 years of experience, our attorneys are skilled in handling property division in even the most high-asset and high-conflict cases.

Paternity in Danville

Establishing paternity is an essential process, especially when determining legal rights such as custody, visitation, and child support. Thanks to DNA testing, paternity can now be confirmed with remarkable accuracy. Our attorneys assist with paternity actions and represent fathers seeking custody and visitation rights.

Prenuptial Agreements

Though it may be uncomfortable to discuss divorce before marriage, many couples find that creating a prenuptial agreement provides clarity and protection for both parties. These agreements outline asset and debt rights in the event of divorce and are especially valuable for managing complex assets like family businesses. Our Danville CA family law attorneys can guide you in creating an agreement that fits your needs and helps you enter into marriage with confidence.

Postnuptial Agreements

A postnuptial agreement is a legal document created after you’re already married to clarify asset division and rights in the event of divorce. Our team can help you draft a postnuptial agreement that aligns with your goals.
