However, equitable distribution principles may come into play, considering factors like each spouse's contribution to the marriage, earning capacity, and future financial needs.

Navigating property division can be complex, but our experienced legal team is here to guide you through the process. We'll work tirelessly to protect your interests and ensure a fair outcome.

Ever wondered when a child can have a say in custody arrangements in California?

California courts consider a child's preference when they reach a certain age and maturity level. While there's no set age, typically around 12-14, their input starts to carry weight. However, the final decision remains with the court, prioritizing the child's best interests. While a child's wishes are considered, they're just one piece of the puzzle.

Navigating custody issues? Our legal team can provide guidance tailored to your family's unique situation. Let's work together to ensure your child's voice is heard while protecting their well-being.
