What Sets Us Apart

Divorce & Family Law Matters in Riverside County

Family law matters are generally governed by state law. While the laws of other states might be similar, California family law has a unique set of rules for regulating and address the rights and responsibilities of a person when it comes to marriage and domestic relations.

As a result, you will significantly benefit from an experienced family lawyer in Riverside County who has devoted their career to developing a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of California’s unique family law rules and procedures.

You can count on our experience in the following cases:

  • Child Support and Spousal Support: Every parent is legally obligated to provide adequate financial support for their children. A parent with custody of their child may be entitled to receive child support. Additionally, when spouses get divorced, spousal support can be a point of contention. You can count on our distinguished divorce lawyers in Riverside County to guide you through these matters.
  • Child Custody: When a child’s parents get divorced or otherwise separate, questions arise concerning who the child lives with and which party has the authority to make a legal decision on their behalf. These issues are the focus of child custody proceedings in California. We can guide you through these legally complex and emotionally tumultuous issues.
  • Fathers’ Rights & Paternity: A father’s rights and obligations concerning the care, control, and custody of their children depend on the existence of a parent-child relationship. This may be established through paternity proceedings. Our dedicated attorneys can represent you in such proceedings.
