SAN JOSE DIVORCE LAWYER AND SANTA CLARA FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

At the Dominion Law Group, LLP, we are experienced family law attorneys. We will work to protect your rights and options in these areas of practice:

Divorce – If you are considering divorce, or if your spouse has already filed, you should talk to a family law lawyer as soon as possible. Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, many issues require prompt and assertive action.

Property Settlement – California is a community property state. Determining what is community property and what is separate property can be complicated, especially when a divorcing spouse owns real estate, a business, or stock options. We can provide guidance and advice designed to preserve your property and rights in cases involving complex property settlement and debt division.

Child Custody – Of all the issues in a divorce, child custody and visitation can prove to be the most contentious. We help clients understand the factors that go into determining child custody and represent them in all aspects of the matter, including:

• Custody evaluations

• Parental relocations

• Grandparent custody and visitation

• Fathers’ responsibilities

• Paternity

Child Support – Our attorneys can provide advice and representation regarding child support, modifications in support, and enforcement of support orders.

Spousal Support – Often, spousal support is negotiated as part of an overall divorce settlement. We can advise and represent you in these matters.

Domestic Violence – We represent clients who are victims of domestic violence, as well as those who have been accused of domestic violence as part of divorce and child custody disputes. We advise clients on family code section 3044 and their right to obtain or challenge a restraining order.

Collaborative Divorce – We sometimes use collaborative law to resolve divorce matters, and to achieve solutions that result in less stress and bitterness than traditional divorce litigation.

Domestic Partners – We can advise you as to your rights and responsibilities under California’s 2003 domestic partnership law.

Legal Separation – Our attorneys can explain the differences between legal separation and divorce. We will provide advice and representation in this process.

Post-Divorce Actions – If your current child custody or child support agreement no longer fits your circumstances, the Dominion Law Group, LLP, in San Jose, California, can help you seek a modification of the agreement.
