Your Trusted Antelope Valley Family Lawyer



Child Support

Whether you are petitioning for child support or if your co-parent is seeking child support from you, our team of family lawyers can help you obtain a favorable outcome in your case. We will work to safeguard child support terms that are both fair to you and ensure that your child receives the monetary support they need. There are many factors that contribute to a child support case. From income to home life, we will take the time to gather any relevant information that the court needs to establish a fair child support agreement.


Custody & Visitation

Legal cases surrounding child custody and visitation are often emotionally draining for both you and your children. In a perfect world, it would be easy to work with your co-parent to come to amicable terms for sharing time with your child. However, this is not always the case. Our family lawyers work with parents to establish custody and visitation schedules that work well for all parties involved, but especially for your children.


Divorce

Going through a divorce can be extremely stressful for everyone involved. Even if you go into your divorce proceedings with the best intentions, unexpected developments and tensions can arise. While every divorce case is different, our divorce attorneys have the experience necessary to handle even the most complicated cases. Upon scheduling a consultation, we will talk to you about your desired outcome pertaining to matters of dividing your assets, child custody, and financial support. Your divorce lawyer will take the time to walk you through the entire process of your divorce proceedings, so you know what to expect. We understand that this can be a trying time in your life. However, it is our goal to ensure that you walk away from your divorce feeling as though your best interests have been looked after.


Spousal Support

Spousal support, or alimony, is monetary support provided by one former spouse to another. There are many factors that contribute to the amount of spousal support you may receive or be required to pay. In general, this support is intended to ensure that a spouse making less money than their former partner is still able to maintain their same standard of living after a separation or dissolution of their marriage. If you need help establishing a fair spousal support settlement, or if you need to modify your current alimony arrangement, our experienced divorce attorneys can help.


Guardianship

In cases where a child’s parent is no longer able to care for them, it may be necessary for a family member or other individual to seek legal guardianship of the minor. Guardianship gives you the legal right to make decisions for the child on matters of their education, medical care, and more. Guardianship does not necessarily cancel out parental rights. Instead, guardianship can be set for a limited amount of time while the child’s parents are incapacitated or otherwise not able to care for them. We can help you secure guardianship of a minor in your care, ensuring you have the authority necessary to advocate for them fully until their parents are able to care for them again.
