What makes a divorce 'complex' in California?
Cases with high-value assets, business interests, hidden income, or contested custody often need more strategy. We handle dissolutions that require close analysis of financial records and detailed legal planning.
How do I protect my separate property?
You need to trace what you owned before marriage and prove it remains separate. We organize documents and present clear evidence to the court so your pre-marital assets remain solely in your possession.
What happens with child custody in a complicated case?
Every custody determination is guided by the child’s best interests. When relocation, parental alienation, or safety concerns arise, we develop a comprehensive parenting plan and advocate for a stable, healthy, and protective arrangement.
How are spousal support and hidden assets handled?
We scrutinize financial disclosures to find hidden income or assets, but only if a spouse believes there are assets/income to be found. With a clear financial picture of both parties, we calculate a fair support figure and work to secure it.
Do I need a specialist for a high-conflict divorce?
No, not necessarily. "Need" is all about perspective. There are many great attorneys who do not possess the certification. Choosing to engage a specialist to assist in your matter is an informed personal choice.
Can you help if my spouse contests everything?
Of course! We do all we can to find a reasonable settlement, but often, we must go before the Judge. We prepare for contested hearings by gathering evidence, building a strong case based on law and fact, and strongly advocate our position in Court.
