Contested divorce: an attorney for your side
Your spouse does not agree to the terms, or you disagree about the children, support or property? We connect you with an independent family-law attorney licensed in California who acts for your side only.
What an attorney can do for you.
Your side only
The attorney acts for you, not your spouse, and prepares negotiation or mediation, aiming for an agreement where possible.
In court if needed
If no agreement is reached, the attorney prepares requests for orders and represents you at hearings under the engagement agreement.
How it works.

Clarify your position

Try to reach agreement
Negotiation or mediation is often faster and less costly than a trial. Custody disputes go to court mediation before a judge decides.
