Property and Debt Division is part of Divorce or Legal Separation. The process of determining what is community property accumulated during a marriage can include more than just homes or furniture.

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.

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. 💙
