Orange County Divorce Attorneys Working Toward Your Goals

The beginning steps of the legal process include a detailed explanation of the dissolution process and setting goals toward a resolution that can be reached outside of court. With most of our clients, we attempt to reach an agreement without having to litigate. Reaching a solution outside the courtroom is generally favorable for both parties, as it saves time and money.

We help educate our clients by answering common questions such as:

• Is there an advantage to being the petitioner or the respondent?

• To what type of financial support am I entitled?

• How long will I be able to receive spousal support (alimony)?

• What assets are considered part of the community property division?

• What happens to our business?

• Can I keep my house?

• How is child custody determined?

Where children are involved, their welfare is vital. We will minimize the negative impact of the divorce as much as possible and take care to answer all of your questions. Putting the children's best interests first, we will help determine the best resolution and make certain they get the financial and emotional support they deserve.
