Divorce and Division of the Marital Estate
In the State of California if a married person decides to divorce their spouse they have the absolute right to terminate the marriage.
Child Custody and Visitation Issues and Orders
There are two areas of child custody, “legal custody” and “physical custody” which involves “visitation,” (a.k.a. “parenting time,” or “timeshare.”) Legal custody has to do with the right to make decisions regarding your children.
Child Support / Spousal Support
Child support is a monthly payment made by one parent to the other to help compensate a parent with custody, who makes less money and/or has more time with the children than the other parent.
Juvenile Dependency (CPS) Cases
If children are abused or neglected, Child Protective Services (CPS) may file a dependency case with the juvenile court.
Adoption
In California, there are four basic kinds of adoptions through the Family Court. Step-parent Adoptions, Relative Adoptions, Independent Adoptions and Adult Adoptions.
Guardianship of Minors / Conservatorship of Adults
