A Los Angeles Family Law Lawyer You Can Trust
When dealing with a family law matters such as divorce, property division, or child support and custody, you need a Los Angeles family law attorney on your side with a proven track record.
There are three ways to end marriages as well as domestic partnerships: annulment, legal separation, and dissolution of marriage or divorce. When you are going through the process of divorce or dissolution of marriage, it is necessary that you and your spouse agree on the terms of your split. Los Angeles divorce is a practice area of family law that includes several family-related legal matters such as contested and uncontested divorce, complex property division, child support, custody, and other aspects.
In case you can’t agree on these legal matters, that becomes a contested divorce. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to go straight to court. There are several processes like mediation and arbitration that can help you find mutually-agreeable solutions to your family law disputes.
Our family law lawyers are aware that each family is unique, and we are committed to giving each case the attention it needs and that our clients deserve. We are skilled negotiators with years of experience in navigating these emotionally-tense matters. If you do end up in court, bear in mind that our lawyers have more than 100 years of combined experience.
While family law court orders are often modifiable, the courts tend to give deference to the past order. Therefore, getting it right the first time is important.

Los Angeles Family Law Lawyer Assisting With Child Support and Custody Cases
Under state law, each spouse is entitled to half of the property acquired after marriage when you get divorced. However, if you have assets that are hard to value, like intellectual property or retirement benefits, it’s important to have a skillful family lawyer on your side that can provide quality legal representation and grant their clients peace of mind. In addition, spousal support can be awarded to the spouse who earns less in order to maintain the lifestyle they were accustomed to.
If children are involved, the whole process becomes harder. Parents usually don’t agree on where the children should live. However, our family law attorney will have your child’s best interest at heart and make sure your rights are protected.
Another thing parents should make sure of is that their children’s needs are met. That is also something a California court will make sure of before the divorce process is finalized. Although both parents should provide for their children, the parent who earns more money or the one who spends less time with the kids will probably have to pay child support. Even though child support is determined by using a Statewide Guideline, a competent Los Angeles, CA, family law attorney will make sure that everything is calculated using the best information.
At Fernandez & Karney, our certified family law specialists will make sure of that. Call us today, schedule a free initial consultation and find out how we can help you.
