Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law

In our work, we are often asked the same questions. Read on for answers to common questions about family law. Do you have a question about your specific case? We offer initial consultations.

What exactly is family law?

Family law is a broad category that addresses relationships between spouses, as well as between parents and children. Everything from divorce and separation, child custody to adoption, paternity, support and minor’s counsel falls under the umbrella of family law. Sometimes, child protective service cases, otherwise known as juvenile dependency cases, when closed, transition into family law matters.

What can a family law attorney do for me?

A family law attorney can represent you in any type of family-related legal proceeding. They can advise you of your rights, prepare paperwork, negotiate and draft agreements, and handle other aspects of your legal case. A big part of their job also involves providing guidance on your options so you can make informed decisions on how to move forward with your case. They can walk you through the risks and benefits of each potential course of action. They can answer your questions and address your concerns, serving as your advocate, adviser and ally.

Is California family law different from other states?

Each state has its own legislation addressing family law. The broad strokes are generally similar, but the details differ. One example is property division in divorce. California is a community property state, which means that property owned by either spouse during the marriage is considered to belong equally to both spouses.

Within each state, every County is different when it comes to the nuances of family law. If you live, or have a case in San Joaquin County, it’s important to work with a local attorney who is licensed in California and understands the details of our county. Our founder has spent her entire legal career handling family law cases in California, specifically in San Joaquin County. We understand the intricacies of our state’s laws, our county’s focus, and our legal processes.
