Comprehensive Family Law Services in the Bay Area

Every family law matter is unique, but our approach remains consistent—strategic advocacy, careful case preparation, and unwavering protection of your interests.

Property Control & Exclusive Use

Conflicts over control of a shared home or investment property are common in divorce and domestic disputes. We help clients secure exclusive use and possession, protect their housing stability, and ensure fair handling of mortgage payments, equity, and expenses.

Child Custody & Parenting Time

Custody cases require equal parts legal strategy and sensitivity. We represent parents in disputes involving:

  • Legal and physical custody
  • Parenting plans and visitation schedules
  • Move-away requests
  • Co-parenting conflicts
  • Enforcement and modification of existing orders

Our priority is helping you protect your children’s well-being and maintain meaningful relationships.

Child Support

California’s child support guidelines can be complex. We assist parents with:

  • Initial support calculations
  • Modification requests
  • Income disputes
  • Arrearage issues and enforcement
  • High-earner or self-employed income situations

We ensure support orders are fair, accurate, and based on credible financial evidence.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

We help clients secure or contest temporary and long-term spousal support, considering:

  • Length of the marriage
  • Earning capacity
  • Standard of living
  • Sacrifices made during the marriage
  • Ability to pay

Our analysis considers both immediate needs and long-term financial stability.

401(k), Retirement, and Investment Account Division

Dividing retirement assets requires precision. We handle:

  • 401(k), 403(b), and pension division
  • QDRO preparation and review
  • Valuation of stock options and RSUs
  • Community vs. separate property analysis

We work to ensure you receive your fair share of marital retirement benefits.

Real Property & Asset Division

Bay Area divorces often involve complex assets. We guide clients through:

  • Home equity division
  • Moore/Marsden calculations
  • Investment properties
  • Bank accounts and brokerage accounts
  • Business ownership and professional practices
  • Community reimbursements and tracing

We bring structure and clarity to even the most complicated financial picture.

Support, Enforcement & Post-Judgment Issues

Even after a divorce is finalized, new disputes can arise. We handle:

  • Enforcement of court orders
  • Wage garnishment issues
  • Contempt proceedings
  • Modification of custody, support, or property orders
  • Post-judgment settlement negotiations

Your rights do not end with the judgment—and neither does our representation.
