Family Law Attorney Madera
Family law matters can be extremely complex and sensitive, which is why it is so important to hire quality legal representation. These cases involve a lot of time and research, not to mention the emotional toll they take on the families involved. Our firm works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Divorce Attorneys in Madera
California has a no-fault divorce law. That simply means that in order for one party to obtain a divorce, they do not have to prove misconduct or harmful behavior from the other party. That being said, hiring a divorce attorney is still very important, as there are many matters related to the divorce that are influenced by the behavior of both parties during the marriage.
Even though a “no fault” divorce state may not require proof of infidelity or abuse to grant a divorce, those types of behaviors could have an impact on spousal support, child custody, property division, and related matters.
If you are considering divorcing your spouse in Madera, hiring an experienced family attorney is the best way to proceed.
Whether you have made a final decision on leaving your spouse, or you want to weigh up your options, speaking with a family law specialist is very helpful. One of our Madera divorce lawyers can talk through your case, explain your options, and highlight the necessary steps to achieving a successful legal separation or divorce.
Divorce proceedings in California courts can lead to a resolution regarding child custody, child and/or spousal support, and property division. Our Madera divorce attorneys can assist you with any aspect of your divorce, including contested and uncontested divorces, paternity, domestic violence cases, same-sex marriages, and complex property divisions.
