Area served: All family courts in San Diego County.
DIVORCE; LEGAL SEPARATION; ANNULMENT; PATERNITY; CUSTODY and VISITATION; MOVE-AWAYS; grandparent and other THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS TO CUSTODY and VISITATION; CHILD SUPPORT and SPOUSAL SUPPORT (alimony) and MODIFICATION/TERMINATION OF SUPPORT; requesting or defending DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDERS; CONTEMPT OF COURT; and, STEPPARENT ADOPTION.
You will work directly with me as your attorney, and not with a paralegal or legal secretary.
For couples who believe they can settle their case, I can provide confidential family law MEDIATION including division of community property (and any reimbursements for separate-property and community-property contributions), child custody/visitation (parenting plans), and child/spousal support, among other issues, at a small fraction of the expense and delay of litigation.
I prepare COHABITATION AGREEMENTS (for unmarried, unregistered partners who have no intention of marrying), PRENUPTIAL (premarital) AGREEMENTS (for those anticipating marriage), MARITAL AGREEMENTS (for those who are married and want to memorialize a property, support, and/or parenting agreement), and MARITAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS (for those divorcing, legally separating, or annulling their marriage) including DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS; POWERS OF ATTORNEY for financial management; ADVANCE HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES (which may include a power of attorney for health care); and, REVOCABLE LIVING TRUSTS.
Another option: If you cannot afford representation and wish to represent yourself in court, I WILL PREPARE YOUR PAPERWORK, such as petitions, responses, requests for orders, financial disclosures, discovery (i.
e.
, factual information requests directed to the other party or a third party) and your response to such requests), on a one-time or continuing basis.
I will personally do all of your paperwork in a confidential relationship with you.
In this limited scope, I will not represent you nor make court appearances on your behalf.
You will represent yourself in court.
This is a low-cost, effective alternative to attorney representation for those who are confident enough to argue their own case in court, but who want legal advice that a paralegal service is prohibited from giving.
Please call for a free telephone consultation, 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday - Friday; Saturdays by appointment.
