I have worked with Mr. Fadem on many occasions and he is as intelligent, professional, and dedicated as they come. His knowledge of family law is outstanding and I refer him to anyone who needs a specialized and highly skilled family law attorney.

Emily

The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.

For insights into family legal matters

Did you know? In California, either parent can request to legally change a child’s last name—but it requires court approval and sometimes both parents’ consent.

This often comes up during adoption, custody disputes, or when a parent wants to establish or reaffirm a deeper bond. The court's focus? Always the best interests of the child—not just what the parents want.

At FADEM, we’ve guided countless families through name changes as part of broader legal transitions like second-parent adoption, custody agreements, or divorce.

Have questions about changing a child’s name or updating legal documents? We’re here to help.

While temporary support can follow local guideline calculators, permanent or long-term spousal support is where things get nuanced — judges consider over a dozen factors like the length of the marriage, each party’s earning capacity, and even the standard of living during the relationship.

⚖️ What’s more? Judges have broad discretion. That’s why skilled legal guidance matters.

That’s right! Under California law, children 14 years or older can express their custody preferences—and the court must consider them if it's in the child’s best interest.

Their voice matters, but it’s just one part of the bigger picture. At Fadem Law, we make sure every custody case puts the child’s well-being first. 💙
