Divorce is an emotional experience for everyone involved — adults and children alike. A good divorce lawyer can help mitigate the pain, anxiety and complexity that are frequently associated with divorce. As with any legal process, hiring an experienced divorce attorney is critical to obtaining optimal results. While there are many lawyers capable of handling a California divorce with competence, it is important to hire an experienced divorce attorney that can provide you with the kind of legal representation that is tailored to your needs and objectives — a divorce lawyer that can provide you with assurance throughout the divorce process and peace of mind once your case is resolved.

Helping Clients with Divorce and Family Law Since 1974
Since 1974, our law firm has provided personalized legal services to individuals experiencing divorce. We encourage clients to let us worry about the legal aspects of the case so that they can focus on the emotional issues. Our comprehensive divorce representation includes assistance with the following legal matters:
- Property division - California is a community property state. This means that any property acquired during the course of the marriage is divided equally, unless there is a premarital agreement stating otherwise. All community property, assets and debt are divided equally. Our firm strives to help you obtain your fair share of the marital assets and protect your separate property. We are also conscious of the many complex issues that arise in a high asset divorce and have the experience to confidently address and resolve these concerns.
- Child custody and visitation - We strive to negotiate a reasonable child custody agreement or parenting plan that is in the best interests of the children and works for both parents. In California, the courts generally encourage joint physical and legal custody.
- Child support - Children deserve the full financial support of both parents. Our firm works to negotiate a fair amount of child support in accord with the California Child Support Guidelines.
- Spousal support - Spousal support (also known as alimony) may be awarded to one spouse in certain circumstances. The divorce lawyers at our firm would be happy to answer all of your questions regarding spousal support or maintenance.
Our firm also provides family law mediation services to those who are interested in a less adversarial approach to divorce. With over 25 years of experience as a Judge Pro Tem (primarily in family court), attorney David Crandall is highly experienced in divorce mediation and arbitration.
