There are three ways to end marriages and domestic partnerships: annulment, legal separation, and dissolution of marriage or divorce. When going through the divorce or dissolution of marriage, you and your spouse must 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, spousal support, child support, and custody.
Your divorce will be contested if you can’t agree on these legal matters. However, that doesn’t mean you have to go straight to court.

With our founding partner, Steven Fernandez, a Certified Family Law Specialist leading our law firm, our experienced attorneys stay updated on the latest changes in family law, ensuring our clients receive accurate and relevant advice. By demystifying the legal process and presenting them with informed choices, our law firm empowers our clients to make decisions that best protect their interests and facilitate a smoother, more equitable resolution.
While family law court orders are often modifiable, the courts tend to give deference to past orders. Therefore, it is essential to get it right the first time. Our Los Angeles family law attorneys understand how the decisions made during this critical time can have long-lasting and profound impacts on your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Errors or oversights in legal proceedings can lead to unfavorable outcomes, such as unfair asset distribution, inadequate spousal or child support, and unfavorable custody arrangements, which may be difficult, costly, and time-consuming to rectify.
Properly addressing these issues ensures compliance with legal standards, promotes fair and equitable solutions, and minimizes prolonged legal disputes’ emotional and financial strain. Additionally, a correct initial resolution provides stability and clarity for all parties involved, fostering a healthier transition into post-divorce life and ensuring the well-being of any children affected by the proceedings.
Handling a family law matter without a Los Angeles attorney can be fraught with risks and challenges, making professional legal representation essential.
Firstly, family law is complex, with nuanced statutes and local regulations that require specialized knowledge to navigate effectively.

Secondly, family law cases often involve high emotional stakes, and our attorneys provide objective, strategic advice that helps you make informed decisions under pressure.
Thirdly, our skilled family law attorneys in Los Angeles are experienced in negotiation and litigation, which is essential for achieving fair settlements or effectively advocating for your interests in court.

The more complex your family law matter, the more essential it is to have a trusted team of attorneys to help due to the intricate legal, financial, and emotional issues involved.
