- DivorceDo you and your spouse want to avoid going to court and fighting over the divorce? In California, if both parties agree on how to dissolve their marriage, it is called an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce means that neither spouse is contesting the terms of the divorce and that they have an agreement on how to end their marriage and a Los Angeles uncontested divorce lawyer can help you get divorced as smoothly as possible.
- Child SupportA Los Angeles child support lawyer can help you understand the laws of domestic support. California Child Support Guidelines are set up to make child support an easy, inflexible formula by which the court will determine child support following divorce proceedings. In nearly all cases, these guidelines cannot be negotiated at all. The formula is a comparison of how much money you earn versus how much time you will spend with the child. Our child support attorneys will be able to work with you in more detail regarding the specifics of the Child Support Guidelines.

- Estate PlanningPrudent estate planning is an absolute necessity in everyone’s life. Whether your estate is large or small you need to have a plan to manage your assets and designate someone to make important health care decisions for you if for some reason you are unable to do so.

- TrustsAlthough not everyone needs a trust, in some cases it is advisable to create a living trust. When you create a trust your assets are usually placed in a revocable living trust and administered for your benefit during your lifetime and transferred to your beneficiaries upon death. During life, you will be the trustee of their trust and you will have the legal right to manage and control all of its assets. After your death, your successor trustee will take over and manage the trust’s assets. The trust will contain instructions to the trustee to manage the trust’s assets and will name beneficiaries that will receive the trust’s assets when you die. A trust can be difficult to understand. Our living trust lawyer will be happy to explain trusts to you in language that you can understand.
- Power of AttorneyWhen people think of estate planning, they immediately think of wills. Wills are a central and important piece in the estate planning process, however, there is significantly more to estate planning than merely wills. In some situations, a living trust will be advisable. And in all situations a living will (or “advance health care directive”), and durable powers of attorney will also be required. Call our office for a free consultation with an estate planning lawyer and one of our attorneys will be happy to advise you on which device would be right for your situation.
