Family law cases are civil court cases that deal with family or domestic-related issues such as: Divorce Child custody and visitation Child support Paternity or parentage Guardianship Domestic violence (Domestic violence can be part of both a civil and criminal law proceeding.) Adoption Many family law cases arise from marital conflict or divorce, especially those involving children or complex assets. Santa Monica Family Law Overview The following is a brief overview of everyday family law actions in Santa Monica.  For more information about these or any other family law procedure, seek the advice of an experienced Santa Monica family law lawyer from Fernandez Law Group. DIVORCE IN SANTA MONICA All California divorces must meet state residency requirements. One spouse must be a resident of California for six months and live in the county where the divorce is filed for the preceding three months. There is a six-month waiting period to obtain a divorce in California without exception. CHILD CUSTODY AND VISITATION IN SANTA MONICA Parents are presumed equally fit to have custody of their minor children in California unless there is an outlying issue. It is preferred for parents to make their own agreed custody and visitation arrangements. When an agreement is not forthcoming, the court considers the best interests of the child and other statutory factors in ordering a custody and visitation arrangement. CHILD SUPPORT IN SANTA MONICA California has a set of guidelines the court follows when calculating child support. The formula is based primarily on the parents’ gross income and the time each parent physically spends with their child. ALIMONY AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT IN SANTA MONICA Alimony is not a mandatory order in California. The court has guidelines and statutory considerations it must apply when deciding whether to grant alimony to a spouse and how much, if any, is appropriate. PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS IN SANTA MONICA A prenuptial agreement is a contract spouses enter into before marriage. California prenuptial agreements must meet specific requirements to be upheld in court. No prenuptial agreement may be entered into involuntarily or without a complete understanding of the agreement, nor can the terms be too unfair or one-sided.

Let Our Los Angeles Move-Away & Relocation Attorneys Help You The prospect of a move is stressful. Adjusting to a new home, job, school, and daily routine can be overwhelming, especially as a parent. However, there are child custody matters that you must consider and attend to prior to solidifying any plans in your chosen destination.

This will keep you from legal trouble or jeopardizing your parental rights. Do not leave anything to chance when it comes to your relationship with your child. Contact an experienced Los Angeles child move-away and relocation attorney at Fernandez Law Group to successfully navigate the intricacies and complexities of your relocation case. What is a Move-Away Case in Los Angeles? A “move-away” case occurs when one parent asks the court’s permission to move the child(ren) far enough away from the other parent to disrupt custodial or visitation time. Regardless of the actual distance, if the move impacts the current custody agreement, the moving parent will need to request a new child custody and visitation order. Due to the potential consequences of approving or denying a move-away request, the court considers several factors before making any relocation ruling. California’s Child Custody & Relocation Laws Parents across California seek to move with their children for various reasons including, but not limited to: The desire to change jobs The need or preference to be closer to family To continue an education Whenever a move is necessary, the non-moving parent may raise concerns about child visitation and the move overall. In California, a parent with sole physical custody of a child has the presumptive right to change the child’s residence, subject to the court’s ability to prevent a relocation that would “prejudice the rights or welfare” of the child. This statute is found in Family Code 7501 , which states the following: A parent entitled to the custody of a child has a right to change the residence of the child, subject to the power of the court to restrain a removal that would prejudice the rights or welfare of the child; and It is the intent of the Legislature to affirm the decision in In re Marriage of Burgess (1996) 13 Cal.4th 25 and to declare that ruling to be the public policy and law of this state. Moreover, the custodial parent does not have to show that the move is “necessary,” assuming the parent is moving in good faith. (See Marriage of Burgess (1996) 13 Cal.4th 25 ). The following offers examples of how different types of legal and physical child custody affect the court’s decision-making process when approving or denying child relocation. When a Parent with Custody Wants to Move A non-custodial parent can challenge a custodial parent’s relocation through a custody modification. However, a custody modification must be based on a substantial change in circumstances rendering it “essential or expedient for the welfare of the children” that there be a custody change. In other words, the non-custodial parent must prove the proposed move would be detrimental to the child. Examples of this may include: A detriment to the child’s relationshi Malibu Child Support Attorney | Fernandez Law Group Home About Us Our Attorneys Steven Fernandez Craig Nadai Jean Young Kim View All+ Our Firm Discovery Department Data Management Blog Practice Areas Child Custody Child Support Complex Property Division Divorce Celebrity Divorce Collaborative Divorce Divorce Mediation Domestic Partnership & Same-Sex Divorce High-Net Worth Divorce Military Divorce LGBTQ Divorce Domestic Violence High-Net Worth Divorce LGBTQ Divorce Mediation Move Away and Relocation Spousal Support View All+ Testimonials Resources Family Law Resources Certified Family Law Specialists Family Code 271 | Sanctions Family Code Section 2030 | Need Based Attorneys Fees Mediation Appointment Request Parent Plan Outline Serving All of Los Angeles Bel Air Beverly Hills Child Custody Divorce Brentwood Child Custody Child Support Divorce Calabasas Complex Property Division Divorce High Net Worth Divorce Century City Culver City Malibu Child Support Divorce Marina Del Rey Mar Vista Pacific Palisades Child Support Divorce Playa Vista Santa Monica Annulment Child Custody Child Support Collaborative Divorce Complex Property Division Divorce Domestic Partnership – Same-Sex Domestic Violence High Net Worth Divorce Family Law Mediation Judgment Modification LGBTQ Divorce Military Divorce Move Aways and Relocation Paternity Restraining Orders Spousal Support Order Enforcement Venice West LA Child Custody Child Support Divorce Westwood Contact Español Call for your free consultation (310)-622-9434 In Need of a Child Support Attorney? get your free case evaluation Fernandez Law Group Malibu Child Support Lawyer Malibu Child Support Lawyer get your free case evaluation Table of Contents Toggle How Can a Malibu Child Support Lawyer Help My Case? Calculating Child Support Payments in Malibu Considerations for Child Support in California When Should I Contact an Attorney? Whether you’re seeking child support from a co-parent, contesting a child support obligation, or seeking a modification of existing child support orders in Malibu, you need a Malibu child support lawyer with resolution-based legal strategies and workable solutions. Contact the Malibu child support attorneys at Fernandez Law Group today for a consultation so we can put our 100 years of combined legal experience and comprehensive knowledge of California family law behind your case. California family courts take the stance that all parents have rights and responsibilities toward their children, including the obligation to support them. Whether you’re a parent facing a divorce in Malibu or the surrounding area, or you share a child with someone you never married, your child has the right to benefit from the income of both parents. How Can a Malibu Child Support Lawyer Help My Case? Child support is one of the most contentious issues in most divorces. The goal of the court in divorce cases involving children is to minimize disruption to the child’s lifestyle by bridging the income gap between the higher and lower-earning parent in balance with the amount of parenting time each parent has with the child. When one household becomes two, the question of which parent pays support and how much they must pay can be distressing as one household becomes two, doubling the expenses that parents once shared. A Malibu child support lawyer from Fernandez Law Group will help you with the complex process of navigating child support laws in California including: Handling administrative and court procedures Thoroughly reviewing the financial situations of both parents Work toward an amicable resolution whenever possible Ensure fair determination of the child support obligation Establish paternity if required in your case No matter which side of the child support issue you’re facing, you don’t want to be the party without skilled legal representation when the other benefits from an experienced Malibu family law attorney . Calculating Child Support Payments in Malibu Ultimately, the judge in child custody/support cases has the final authority to determine the amount of a child support obligation one parent pays to the other. However, California uses a structured formula as a guideline and offers an online calculator for parents to estimate the child support amount in their case. The California child support calculator works under the state’s guidelines for determining child support through a payment estimator. However, there’s no guarantee that a judge will make the same determination should the matter require courtroom litigation, especially if there are other considerations in the case. Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! Considerations for Child Support in California Calculating child support requires considering the following factors: The number of children shared by the parents The gross income and net disposable income of each parent Tax considerations The amount of custody/parenting time each parent has with the children The childcare and healthcare requirements of each child Any support a parent pays to children from another marriage or relationship When a child has special needs or the outcome of the child support calculations is unfair to one parent the courts may deviate from the standard formula with evidence supporting the decision. That’s why you need a seasoned Malibu child support attorney from Fernandez Law Group representing you throughout the process of determining child support. When Should I Contact an Attorney? If you’re a parent facing divorce in Malibu, a parent seeking child support from an unmarried co-parent, or you’re being taken to court for a child support obligation, you shouldn’t have to navigate this complex area of family law alone. Contact an experienced attorney from Fernandez Law Group to represent your interests as well as the best interests of the children in your child support case: As soon as you file for divorce or receive a petition for divorce from a co-parent If a person to whom you were never married has petitioned the court for child support from you If you require the determination of paternity for a child support obligation or request for child support If you’ve experienced a change in circumstances and seek a modification of an existing order If you require enforcement measures for back-owed child support The Malibu child support lawyers at Fernandez Law Group understand that it’s crucial to have strong representation from the earliest point in any legal proceedings regarding child support. Strong resolution-based representation may help to spare the time and expense of a drawn-out legal procedure to achieve your objective.

We regularly handle complex divorce cases, including those for high-net-worth and renowned clients. As your Los Angeles celebrity divorce lawyers, our goals are to protect your privacy and achieve the results you want. Call us today to schedule a free consultation. Identifying Property Ownership Rights in a Celebrity Divorce California is a no-fault divorce state. This simply means that you can get divorced without blaming someone for the end of your marriage. It also means that things like infidelity won’t play a role in determining how property is allocated in the divorce. Each spouse is legally entitled to half of all community (marital) property. When you get divorced, there are two classifications of property you’ll need to consider: community and separate. Community property is anything that is owned jointly by you and your spouse. This tends to include property, assets, and income that were obtained by either spouse after you were legally married. Separate property is anything that is owned by you, and you alone. This tends to include property that you owned individually prior to marriage. It can also include assets that you have taken legal steps to own outright without your spouse. Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! Celebrities tend to have quite a wealth of property and assets. It’s important to complete a thorough assessment of all property and debts that are owned by both spouses, individually and collectively. Identifying how property is classified (community or separate) is essential. Property division in a celebrity divorce will depend on these early classifications. Since each spouse shares an equal right to community property, there are often disputes about how certain assets are categorized. The Importance of Assessing the Value of Assets and Debts The first step is identifying all property (and debts) owned by you and your spouse. The next step is placing a monetary value on each individual asset and liability. Celebrities tend to have complex portfolios with assets that can be difficult to value. These may include: Intellectual property Residential real estate Commercial real estate Ownership interests in businesses and/or partnerships Income from endorsements and appearances Patents Product lines Royalties Investments Retirement plans and benefits Stock options, and more. Our Los Angeles celebrity divorce attorneys have excellent relationships with the best financial experts and assessors in Los Angeles. We work closely with these individuals to make sure that all of your property is valued accurately. Why is it important to assess the value of your property in a celebrity divorce? Both you and your spouse will be entitled to half of all community property. Some assets can be difficult to divide. There are other assets that you may be unwilling to give up in a divorce. In order to keep those assets, you must either: Assume debts and liabilities of equal value, or Agree to give your spouse ownership of other assets of equal value. Knowing which assets are on the negotiating table and how much each is worth will make this process much more manageable. Child Custody and Support Issues in Celebrity Divorce Cases When parents decide to split their children will be caught in the middle. This is true for everyday couples as well as celebrity parents. However, most couples do not have to negotiate child custody and child support issues with the public watching. The pressure will be on to make a custody plan that serves the best interests of your children. Remember, your divorce cannot be finalized until you’ve hammered out the details of all legal matters involving your kids. Celebrity custody battles can be challenging. This is particularly true if one or both parents travel frequently. Where should the kids live? Should the kids travel during their childhood, or are they best served by staying in a single location? How much time should each parent get to spend with the kids? How much financial support do celebrity kids need? These are all questions that celebrity parents must tackle during a divorce. Typically, custody arrangements must serve a child’s best interests. In most situations, this involves joint custody and keeping kids in frequent and continuing contact with both parents. Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! At Fernandez Law Group , our Los Angeles celebrity divorce lawyers will fight to secure the best possible custody arrangement for you and your children. We’ll identify the custody arrangement that you believe is best and find a way to make it work. It’s important to understand that you may need to make some changes in your life if you want to be around your kids as much as possible. Custody is a process of give and take. This may involve taking on projects closer to home or agreeing to travel with your child’s other parent after the divorce. It is important to keep in mind that your goal, regardless of your social or financial status, should be your child’s health, happiness, and well-being.

Court-Appointed Mediation Court-Appointed Mediation and Domestic Violence Child Custody Decisions in California The Guardian Ad Litem Child Custody and Domestic Violence in California Contact an Experienced Los Angeles Child Custody Attorney Today Understanding the Child Custody Law in California Under the Los Angeles child custody law, both parents can obtain child custody, or both parents can share custody. However, they have to make child custody arrangements that can work for both of them and that both of them agree on. These arrangements are called a parenting plan. Although the judge has to make the final decision regarding custody or visitation rights, in most cases, he or she will approve the parenting plan. However, in case both parents can’t agree, the judge will first send them to mediation where a Los Angeles, CA, Family Court Services mediator will try to help. If the mediation turns out to be unsuccessful, a child custody case court hearing will be scheduled. At the hearing, the child’s best interests, as well as the custody and visitation agreement, will be determined. The public policy of California State, expressly articulated in Family Code Section 3020 , is “to assure that children have frequent and continuing contact with both parents” after a divorce or separation . However, the state also has an interest in the well-being of minor children and denounced child abuse and domestic violence. Under circumstances involving domestic violence, child abuse, or a threat to the child’s health and safety, as listed in Section 3030 , California courts may either deny custody or visitation rights. Also, in instances where one parent abandons the child, is unable, or refuses to take custody, the other parent is entitled to sole custody. To understand the circumstances of your particular custody case, speak with one of our Los Angeles child custody attorneys. Different Types of Child Custody Los Angeles In Los Angeles, CA, parents are often encouraged to share both types of child custody: physical and legal custody. Both physical custody and legal custody can be joint and sole. While legal custody entails the right to make decisions regarding a child’s education, health, and welfare, physical custody refers to where the child or children will live after a separation or divorce. A parent who has legal custody has a right to decide about the child or children’s school, medical care, sports, travel, religion, and other extracurricular activities. On the other hand, a parent who has physical custody of the child is the one with whom the child or children will primarily live. He or she is typically referred to as a residential or custodial parent, while the other noncustodial parent will have visitation rights.

Under California law, the mother and the father (or the presumed father), “are equally entitled” to the custody of an unemancipated minor. However, according to the US Census Bureau , in 2009, only 1 in 6 custodial parents nationwide were fathers (16.7%). Notably, this number includes parents who were never married. So, although over 80% of custodial parents were women, 36.8% of custodial mothers were never married. The total number of children living in sole custody arrangements was 22 million. Sole Custody California Family Code distinguishes between sole physical and sole legal custody and carves out visitation rights for the noncustodial parent. If awarded sole legal custody, one parent holds the exclusive responsibility for “ decisions relating to the health, education, and welfare of a child .” However, although the underlying idea of sole physical custody assumes that the child will reside with one parent, the court has the power to order visitation. The idea that a mother should play the dominant role in child-rearing only became prevalent in the middle of the nineteenth century, according to law professor J. Herbie DiFonzo. In the colonial era, the courts usually awarded sole custody to fathers, he says. However, the idea that a mother Restraining Orders Lawyer Santa Monica - Fernandez Law Group Home About Us Our Attorneys Steven Fernandez Craig Nadai Jean Young Kim View All+ Our Firm Discovery Department Data Management Blog Practice Areas Child Custody Child Support Complex Property Division Divorce Celebrity Divorce Collaborative Divorce Divorce Mediation Domestic Partnership & Same-Sex Divorce High-Net Worth Divorce Military Divorce LGBTQ Divorce Domestic Violence High-Net Worth Divorce LGBTQ Divorce Mediation Move Away and Relocation Spousal Support View All+ Testimonials Resources Family Law Resources Certified Family Law Specialists Family Code 271 | Sanctions Family Code Section 2030 | Need Based Attorneys Fees Mediation Appointment Request Parent Plan Outline Serving All of Los Angeles Bel Air Beverly Hills Child Custody Divorce Brentwood Child Custody Child Support Divorce Calabasas Complex Property Division Divorce High Net Worth Divorce Century City Culver City Malibu Child Support Divorce Marina Del Rey Mar Vista Pacific Palisades Child Support Divorce Playa Vista Santa Monica Annulment Child Custody Child Support Collaborative Divorce Complex Property Division Divorce Domestic Partnership – Same-Sex Domestic Violence High Net Worth Divorce Family Law Mediation Judgment Modification LGBTQ Divorce Military Divorce Move Aways and Relocation Paternity Restraining Orders Spousal Support Order Enforcement Venice West LA Child Custody Child Support Divorce Westwood Contact Español Call for your free consultation (310)-622-9434 Are You looking for a Restraining Orders Lawyer? get your free case evaluation Fernandez Law Group Trusted Restraining Orders Attorneys in Santa Monica, California Trusted Restraining Orders Attorneys in Santa Monica, California get your free case evaluation Table of Contents Toggle What Types of California Restraining Order Clients Do Fernandez Law Group Represent?

What are the Different Types of Family Law Restraining Orders in California? In California, several restraining orders exist, each designed to address specific situations and protect individuals facing various forms of harm or harassment. The family law restraining orders include: Emergency Protective Order (EPO): Provides immediate, short-term protection when law enforcement believes someone is in immediate danger of domestic violence, child abuse, abduction, or elder abuse and lasts up to seven calendar days. This can include orders to move out of the home, stay away from the victim, and provide other necessary protections until a longer-term order can be obtained. Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO): Protects individuals from abuse or threats of abuse from someone they have a close relationship with, such as a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, dating partner, or close family member and can last up to five years and can be renewed. They can include personal conduct orders, stay-away orders, and orders for the abuser to move out of a shared residence.

It is increasingly common for Los Angeles families to own vacation properties in Europe, investment apartments in Asia, commercial buildings in Latin America, or inherited land overseas. While these properties may seem geographically distant, they are very much part of the financial landscape that must be addressed during divorce . Tracing and characterizing international real estate presents unique legal, financial, and jurisdictional challenges. Without a careful strategy, foreign holdings can be undervalued, mischaracterized, or excluded from equitable division altogether. Community vs. Separate Property Across Borders California’s community property laws apply to marital property regardless of where the asset is located. If international real estate was acquired during the marriage using marital funds, it may be subject to equal division, even if it is titled solely in one spouse’s name or governed by foreign law. Separate property claims frequently arise when: The property was acquired before marriage. It was inherited from the family abroad. It was purchased with traceable separate funds. However, appreciation during the marriage, mortgage payments made with community funds, or improvements financed jointly may create a community interest in the property. Tracing becomes essential when multiple funding sources are involved. Jurisdictional Limits and Practical Enforcement California courts have authority over the parties in a divorce, but they do not directly control foreign land registries. This distinction matters. While a California court can order a spouse to transfer an interest in international real estate, enforcement depends on: The legal system of the country where the property is located. Recognition of foreign judgments. Compliance by the titled spouse. In some jurisdictions, additional legal steps may be required to record or effectuate the transfer. Coordinating with international counsel is often necessary to ensure that court orders are enforceable abroad. Valuation of Overseas Property Accurate valuation is critical to equitable division. International real estate often presents additional complications, including: Currency exchange fluctuations. Different appraisal standards. Political or economic instability. Varying market transparency. Local taxation rules affecting net value. A property’s value on paper may not reflect its practical marketability or liquidity. Courts must consider fair market value while accounting for these international factors. Failure to account for currency shifts alone can materially alter the asset’s division. Title Structures and Foreign Ownership Entities International real estate is frequently held through foreign corporations, limited liability companies, or family trusts. In some countries, property ownership is restricted to citizens or structured through nominee arrangements. Understanding how the title is held is essential to determining: Who legally owns the property? Whether the spouse has a direct or indirect interest. How value should be allocated. Whether corporate or partnership interests must also be analyzed. Complex ownership structures may require forensic financial review and cross-border documentation requests. Disclosure Obligations in International Property Cases California imposes strict fiduciary duties of financial disclosure in divorce. This obligation includes foreign real estate holdings. Failure to disclose international property interests can result in significant penalties, including the possibility of awarding the undisclosed asset entirely to the other spouse. Courts treat concealment seriously, regardless of whether the property is located within the United States. Early identification and transparent disclosure reduce the risk of litigation escalation and judicial sanctions. Tax Consequences and Transfer Considerations Dividing or transferring international real estate may trigger tax consequences in both the United States and the foreign jurisdiction. Potential issues include: Capital gains taxes. Transfer taxes abroad. Withholding requirements. Reporting obligations under federal law. Improperly structured transfers can create unexpected liabilities. Strategic planning ensures that asset division does not inadvertently diminish overall value. Offset Strategies vs. Forced Sale When neither spouse wishes to retain joint ownership of international property, courts may consider ordering a sale. However, forced sales of foreign property can be inefficient, particularly in unstable or slow markets. In some cases, offsetting the value of the international property against domestic assets provides a more practical solution. This approach allows one spouse to retain the foreign holding while ensuring overall equity in the division. Determining the most advantageous strategy requires careful financial analysis. Strategic Planning Is Essential in Cross-Border Property Division Tracing international real estate is not simply a matter of identifying the title. It requires understanding foreign legal systems, financial structures, tax implications, and enforcement realities. High-net-worth divorces involving global assets require an early, coordinated strategy. Delays can complicate valuation, limit enforcement options, and increase litigation costs. Thoughtful planning ensures that international holdings are properly accounted for and equitably addressed under California law.

Have you and your spouse agreed on most of the details of your divorce, but simply can’t get on the same page about a few lingering issues? Maybe your spouse wants to sell the family home and split the cash, while you want to walk away with possession of the home, instead. Or, maybe you just can’t see eye-to-eye on the custody of your children. Mediation is a great dispute resolution tool that can help to guide you and your spouse to mutually agreeable decisions in your divorce. When you decide to use the mediation process, a trained mediator will help you and your spouse get to the root of the issues in your dispute and guide you to a resolution. This neutral third party does not have the authority or power to make any decisions on your behalf. Instead, their role is limited to acting as a liaison and intermediary. The decisions that are made during mediation are entirely up to the divorcing spouses. The mediator is simply there to help move conversations in a positive direction. Why Should I Choose Mediation in California? Mediation can be a great tool when divorcing couples are struggling to agree on important decisions in a divorce, such as child custody and spousal support amounts. You and your spouse may want to consider using mediation because: You maintain control over all final decisions Other dispute resolution techniques are more stressful The proceedings are confidential It is a less expensive alternative It can help you and your spouse work through underlying issues that are preventing you from coming to a mutual agreement Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! When Can I Use Divorce Mediation in California? You and your spouse may use divorce mediation at any point during or after the divorce process in California. You may even use mediation before filing for a divorce if you hope to file an uncontested divorce. As a divorce case reveals information, you or your spouse may find that mediation is necessary to discuss newly discovered debts or assets. Or, you may have more debts and assets than either of you realized going into your divorce. Once a divorce is filed, California’s court associated custody and visitation mediation becomes available for use by parents. Mediation is an excellent tool for parents at any time a parenting time agreement or child support order is in place. Mandatory mediation will be ordered by the court should a modification of a final child custody or visitation order be filed by you or your spouse.

Determining Child Support in West Los Angeles California law affords every child the right to financial support from both parents, and both parents share an equal responsibility to support their children. Child support is usually paid monthly by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent (the parent with whom the child primarily resides). The amount of child support in California is determined by a statewide guideline found in California Family Code 4055. If the parents cannot agree on child support, the court will decide the child support amount based on the guideline calculation. Child Support Guidelines in West Los Angeles California’s guideline calculation takes several factors into account when determining the monthly amount of child support that one parent should pay another for the support of a child. These factors include the following: The actual average monthly income of each parent The tax filing status of each parent The number of children these parents have together The actual percentage of time the child spends with each parent Court-ordered child support paid for the benefit of children from other relationships Health insurance premiums paid by either or both parties Mandatory retirement contributions by either or both parties Mandatory union dues paid by either or both parties Child support can be more difficult to calculate when a parent is self-employed, paying a third party to support children from a previous relationship, or paying spousal support. Some circumstances can cause the family court to deviate from the guideline calculation. However, these are extremely limited. Modification of Child Support in West Los Angeles Child support can be modified if a parent experiences a material change in circumstances. A material change of circumstances may include a significant change in the other parent’s income, a job loss, or increased visitation with the child.

California Divorce Overview California Family Code § 2300 defines divorce, or dissolution of marriage, as a judge’s order that effectively “restore[s] the parties to the state of unmarried persons.” Declared single again, divorcees face far-reaching, life-altering consequences and changes in their rights and duties. The effect of divorce on property rights has been the fodder of tabloids in many celebrity cases. Its impact on parenting rights publicized in the context of bitter custody battles , divorce has earned the reputation of being a thoroughly traumatizing family law experience. Residency Requirements for Divorce in California Under California Family Code § 2320 , for a judge to grant a California divorce, one of the spouses must have been a resident of the state for six months, and of the county where filing for at least three months. An exception to this rule is permitted in the case of nullity proceedings, legal separation, or same-sex marriage. For same-sex marriages, the following circumstances must apply: The parties entered into such formal relationship in California The current state of residency refuses to dissolve the union. Speak with Los Angeles divorce attorneys at Fernandez Law Group if you have questions regarding California’s residency requirement. No-Fault Divorce California is a no-fault divorce state. As such, proof of misconduct, such as infidelity, has no bearing on the judge’s decision to grant the divorce. However, proof of misconduct may well be relevant to other family law decisions such as the calculation of spousal support. “No-fault” simply means the court will not assign blame for the disintegration of the marriage. A claim by one spouse that the marriage or domestic partnership is defunct will suffice as a basis for the dissolution. The phrase “irreconcilable differences” stands for this idea. Additionally, Los Angeles courts also allow for divorce or legal separation, if one of the spouses permanently lacks legal capacity. The Divorce Waiting Period In California, no divorce is final unless at least six months have passed since the divorce petition and summons have been served on the non-filing spouse, or respondent. If the respondent appears in court before such service, the six-months countdown may start from this first appearance ( California Family Code § 2339 ). Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! Dissolving A Marriage Or A Domestic Partnership The divorce law foresees three different ways to end or alter the rights and responsibilities that go along with marriage, including same-sex marriage, or a domestic partnership: Annulment Dissolution of marriage (divorce) Legal separation In some cases, dissolution can be accomplished by an accelerated, summary procedure. Unmarried Partners and Same-sex Couples Can Also Seek a Divorce in California Rights of same-sex couples have a turbulent history in California, but the United States Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges found that not permitting gays and lesbians to marry was an unconstitutional violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since 2003, registered domestic partners also share the same rights and obligations as married couples in California, including the right to terminate such partnership. Decisions Before The Court: The Scope Of Divorce Proceedings While sitting in divorce proceedings, California courts can decide: Who gets legal custody of the children What the amount of child support or spousal support will be How to divide the property Likewise, the courts can issue a judgment regarding property rights and custody of the children with respect to legal separation, without dissolving the marriage. We can assist you with any family law related aspect of a divorce including: High-net worth divorce Contested divorce Celebrity Divorce LGBT Divorce Military divorce Uncontested divorce Complex property division Spousal support Child custody Child support Paternity Modifications Domestic violence Because a divorce can encompass so many different family law legal issues, it’s important to have an experienced Los Angeles divorce lawyer with a proven track record on your side. Types of Divorce Matters We Handle High Net Worth Divorce Money makes divorce complicated. When you and your spouse have high net worth assets, it can be difficult to figure out how property should be divided between the two of you.

It can be difficult to put a specific value on business interests and intellectual property rights.

What Legal Protections and Remedies are Available for Domestic Violence Victims in Santa Monica, California? The most common protection available for abuse victims in Santa Monica is restraining orders to protect themselves from further abuse. The different types of protective orders include: Emergency Protective Order (EPO): This order is issued by law enforcement and is valid for up to 7 days. It provides immediate protection. Temporary Restraining Order (TRO): This is issued by the court and usually lasts until the hearing for a permanent restraining order. Permanent Restraining Order (PRO): This is granted after a court hearing and can last up to 5 years, offering long-term protection. The protections provided may include: Prohibits contact with the victim through any means, including in person, phone, email, or social media. Orders for the abuser to stay away from the victim’s home, workplace, school, and other specified locations. Protective orders may also include child custody, visitation , and support provisions. In addition, domestic violence is a crime, and abusers can be arrested and prosecuted. Police are required to respond to domestic violence calls and can make arrests if they believe an offense has occurred. Perpetrators of domestic violence may face criminal charges, including misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the severity of the abuse. At Fernandez Law Group, we are family law attorneys. This means we can use any domestic violence crimes to help build our client’s cases to file for divorce or legal separation to end the relationship with the abuser formally and petition the family law courts to issue orders for spousal support, division of property, and child custody and support. Courts prioritize the safety of children and can grant sole or primary custody to the non-abusive parent, while supervised visitation may be ordered for the abusive parent. With knowledgeable attorneys boasting over 120 years of combined legal experience, we are highly experienced in dealing with every aspect of a California domestic violence case.

Contact Fernandez Law Group today or call (310)622-9434 to schedule a free consultation with one of our family law lawyers in Los Angeles! Dividing Community Property and Assets in a High Net Worth Divorce in Calabasas California law sees marriage as a legal contract as well as an emotional bond. The marital contract forms a “community” of two in which all property accumulated during the marriage belongs to the community and not the individual regardless of whose name is on the account, title, or deed. Like all contracts, when spouses dissolve the marriage contract, they must equally divide the community assets and debts while retaining their separate assets. For spouses with limited property and few or no financial holdings, this is a relatively simple process but for high-asset divorcing spouses in Calabasas, this process requires the following: A meticulous discovery period where your attorney requests financial documents from your spouse and responds to similar requests from your spouse’s attorney An intensive investigation into your portfolios to identify all separate assets you may retain as well as any portion of your spouse’s separate assets you have a right to claim Aggressively defending your rights during negotiations and mediation Attempting a settlement agreement to save time, costs, and contentious court battles while never compromising on your rights and best interests Defending your position in court to secure your fair share of all marital assets and retention of your separate assets Separate assets in a California divorce are all properties and assets belonging solely to one spouse before the marriage, inherited by one spouse during the marriage, or gifted to one spouse alone during the marriage. Community property is all other assets acquired during the marriage regardless of which name is on the account. Understanding Commingled Assets in High Net Worth Divorces in Calabasas If you and your spouse have many diverse properties and complex assets, it’s important to have an aggressive Calabasas complex property division attorney engaged in protecting your rights and goals throughout the process of categorizing separate and community assets. Your spouse may claim some assets as their separate property when legally you have a valid claim to a portion of the asset or property due to commingling. When one spouse allows the other access to an account it becomes commingled marital property even if it began as their separate account. Similarly, when one spouse has separate real estate property through inheritance or prior ownership, the other spouse may claim a portion of the property as community property if they invested substantial time and/or money into making improvements and increasing the property’s value. It’s also important to address the increased value of separately owned property when the value increases during the marriage. Because these matters require meticulous investigation and skilled representation, high-net-worth divorces require experienced legal counsel. The attorneys at Fernandez Law Group are ready to protect your desired outcomes for the division of your assets in your high net-worth divorce in Calabasas.

This means uniform case management and filing for all departments within the firm, from the time of intake of a client file through final disposition. Simplicity: Simplicity is intended to make these protocols intuitive and thereby easier to learn and follow. The goal is to keep working systems of information management in place wherever possible and have new systems be only as complex as functionally necessary. Order: As the single most important goal of these protocols, the order of a given file will make it easier for an attorney or staff member to familiarize themselves with the specifics of a case and make crucial data accessible at the time of meetings, depositions, hearings, and trial. Aesthetics and Presentation : The information management is intended to be more than just functional. The order and appearance of our client’s files will reflect the consideration taken with client information throughout the litigation process. We are committed to this process knowing that out of comprehensive information management and order emanates strength. Trust: The overarching goal of these information management protocols is to better serve all of our clients by meticulously managing all of their data.

What is Considered a High-Net-Worth Divorce in Los Angeles, California? In California, a high-net-worth divorce is any divorce in which one spouse has more than one million dollars in assets. High-net-worth divorces raise the level of scrutiny employed by the court when reviewing spouses’ financial records. The court reviews the following types of assets in a high-net-worth divorce: Retirement accounts like 401k’s and pensions. Shared business interests, including spouse-owned businesses, partnerships, and investments. Real property holdings. Out-of-state and international assets. For high-net-worth spouses, submitting accurate financial information to the court during a divorce is crucial for ensuring a fair and equitable division of assets. The court relies on detailed financial disclosures to assess the value of various assets, determine appropriate spousal and child support, and make informed decisions about property distribution. Inaccurate or incomplete information can lead to legal consequences, including penalties, unfavorable rulings, and potential accusations of fraud. Providing correct financial data helps facilitate transparent negotiations and ensures that both parties’ financial interests are adequately protected.
