Our Westminster Family Law Services
Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on issues involving family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, child custody, and other matters. Attorneys practicing family law can represent clients in family court proceedings or in related negotiations and can also draft important legal documents such as court petitions or property agreements.
Our Westminster family law services include helping clients with the following, and more:
- Divorce: The legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body. This often involves resolving issues such as property division, spousal support, and child custody.
- Property Division: The legal process of dividing assets and debts between spouses during a divorce. This includes determining what is considered marital property and how it should be fairly distributed.
- Spousal Support (Alimony): Financial support paid by one ex-spouse to the other after a divorce. The purpose is to provide the lower-earning spouse with financial assistance for a certain period.
- Child Custody: Legal terms that refer to the rights and responsibilities of parents to make decisions about and care for their children. This can be joint custody (both parents share responsibilities) or sole custody (one parent has primary responsibility).
- Child Support: Financial payments made by a non-custodial parent to support their child or children. This is usually in the form of regular payments to help cover the child's living expenses.
- Child Support Modification: A legal process where a parent seeks to change the amount of child support payments due to changes in circumstances such as income, employment status, or the needs of the child.
- Domestic Violence: Cases that involve physical, emotional, or psychological abuse within a family or household. Legal actions may include restraining orders, protective orders, and custody changes to ensure the safety of the victims.
- Prenuptial Agreements: Contracts entered into by a couple before marriage that outline the distribution of assets and financial responsibilities in the event of divorce or death.
- Family Law Mediation: A process where a neutral third party helps disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. This is often used to resolve issues related to divorce, child custody, and other family law matters outside of court.
