Our goal is to navigate clients through the legal system without the excessive costs of litigation.
Dissolution of Marriage
We understand that dissolving a marriage is not only a difficult legal process, but also an emotional roller coaster. It is our experience that many clients who file for divorce become emotionally and mentally overwhelmed and sometimes find themselves making hasty decisions. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible and to be with you every step of the way.
Child Support
Requesting a child support order or responding to a request for child support may seem like a daunting task. At Farias Law, we guide you through the process in obtaining child support orders, modifying current orders or resolving child support arrears.
Spousal Support
Whether you are the supporting or supported spouse, our services include a detailed analysis of all the factors that the Courts consider in awarding support. We also assist clients in obtaining temporary orders for support, during the pendency of the case.
Child Custody and Visitation
Many custody and visitation issues can become a series of court hearings and evidentiary proceedings. Farias Law has experience in handling cases involving child custody investigations and expert evaluations.
Property Division
We assist our clients in obtaining an equitable division of property whether it involves real estate, businesses, retirements, pensions, investments, insurance policies, vehicles and more. If your case involves a situation in which assets are dispersed, commingled or difficult to locate, we will create a discovery strategy tailored to your case in order to obtain a fair division.
Separate Property
Although California is a community property state, in which generally each party is entitled to half of the community property, our law firm will assist you in tracing assets and will also help you understand your separate property rights.
Domestic Violence
Unlike many family law firms, Farias Law also handles domestic violence proceedings, and sometimes it is advantageous and less expensive for your attorney to handle both proceedings as one may have an effect on the other.
Post-Judgment Issues
Many family matters do not end after a Judgment is entered. Custody issues may be long-term, and parties may seek to modify visitation schedules, custody orders, and support orders. Farias Law offers post-judgment services, even if your case was not originally handled by our firm.
