Experienced Divorce Attorneys Guiding You Through the Process

When you’re facing divorce, important decisions need to be made about child custody, division of property and assets, as well as finances. Getting perspective and assistance from experienced divorce lawyers can be invaluable because they can help you navigate the dissolution of your marriage. Even if you’re planning an uncontested divorce, disputes can surface, so you need an advocate on your side. Hassett Family lawyers are fully aware of California’s community property laws and are committed to protecting your interests. We achieve equitable resolutions and encourage spouses to be cooperative to ensure the divorce process is less overwhelming.

Child Custody Lawyers Focused on the Best Interests of Your Child

Child custody determinations in court can have long-lasting effects on your family. A child custody lawyer will fight for your parental rights and ensure your child’s best interests are the central focus. Child custody judges know that their decisions impact the child’s stability which is why it’s important to have help from a qualified child custody lawyer.

Child Support and Financial Support Solutions

Judges evaluate the financial situation of each parent and use California state guidelines to determine child support. They consider the child’s welfare to be paramount when determining the proper amount. Our child support lawyers carefully review financial information so the court has accurate records when awarding child support. We advocate for fair and reasonable financial support to ensure the child’s rights are protected, so they’ll have the resources they need

Division of Marital Property and Assets in California

When a couple divorces in the state of California, marital assets and debts are divided equally between both parties. Each partner must disclose their finances, including income, investments, real estate, retirement accounts, and savings. The court then determines which assets qualify as community property and which are separate. An experienced divorce attorney knows how to investigate hidden assets to ensure they’re divided fairly. 

Spousal Support and Alimony Representation

Having a good understanding of how alimony and spousal support work is important if you’re seeking a fair financial resolution after your divorce. Our legal team at Hassett Family Law Group can evaluate your financial situation and determine the amount of support that California guidelines state you qualify for. Whether you need to dispute an existing order or are seeking payments, we’ll advocate for the best outcome. We negotiate spousal support agreements that will protect your financial stability through the transition of divorce.

Post-Judgment Modifications and Order Enforcement

Unexpected changes in your life circumstances, such as a job loss, reduced income, or rising childcare costs, can cause the need for a post-judgment modification of your child support or alimony. A Coronado family law attorney can file a motion in court to change the order and present proof to justify your request. If your spouse misses payments or doesn’t pay, your lawyer can ask that the order for alimony or child support be enforced. 

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements for Coronado Couples

Having a lawyer draft a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can prevent conflict if a Coronado couple’s marriage ever dissolves. These documents are usually created prior to getting married, but can also be completed postnuptially. They’re required to be signed voluntarily by each partner to ensure they are legally sound. A prenup helps prevent misunderstandings and encourages transparent communication between couples. It’s recommended that each partner have their own attorney to review the agreement to ensure their financial future is secure before signing it.

Paternity Cases and Fathers’ Rights Advocacy

If you need to challenge or establish paternity before you seek custody or visitation, one of our Hassett Family lawyers can coordinate a DNA test that is usually required by the state. They can also create a parenting plan that will strengthen your case in court if you’re seeking custody and the test results confirm that you’re the biological father. The court will then issue a judgment about your financial responsibilities for child support, or they will release you from any responsibilities if the test results prove you aren’t the father.
