California is a no-fault divorce state, which means you do not have to prove wrongdoing to dissolve a marriage. Common issues in divorce proceedings include property division, child custody, and spousal support. Our attorneys guide you through each step, from filing the petition to negotiating settlement terms or litigating in court when necessary. We also handle legal separation and annulment cases where appropriate.
In custody disputes, California courts prioritize the best interests of the child. We help parents develop parenting plans that address legal and physical custody, visitation schedules, and relocation requests. If you’re facing an emergency situation, we can file for temporary custody orders to ensure your child’s immediate safety. Learn more about our child custody services.
Whether you’re seeking or contesting child support or spousal support, we advocate for equitable outcomes based on California’s statutory guidelines. We also assist with enforcement actions and modifications due to changed financial circumstances.
If you or your children are experiencing domestic violence, SD Law Center can help you seek immediate legal protection through a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO). We represent both petitioners and respondents in these sensitive and high-stakes matters.

A family law attorney represents clients in legal matters involving divorce, child custody, spousal support, domestic violence, and property division, helping them navigate California’s legal system with confidence.
A California divorce takes at least six months from the date of service. More complex cases may take longer depending on disputes over children, assets, or support.
Yes, full custody may be granted if it serves the best interests of the child – especially in cases involving abuse, neglect, or instability by the other parent.
Spousal support is based on several factors including income, earning capacity, length of marriage, and the standard of living established during the relationship.
While it’s possible to represent yourself, family law cases involve high stakes and complicated rules. An attorney can protect your rights and increase your chances of a favorable outcome.
