California Family Law Attorney
A knowledgeable and attentive family law attorney is a valuable source of information and practical assistance at times of transition and change in family structure. Although many people attempt to complete a "do-it-yourself" divorce, all too often these same individuals discover they need to start over with a lawyer to correct errors or deal with unexpected complications.
Knowledge Before Action in Family Law
To be sure that you understand your rights and responsibilities in the eyes of the law, you are urged to contact a lawyer before taking action or jumping to conclusions regarding family law issues such as the following:
- Divorce, including property division
- Legal separation
- Marital settlement agreements and prenuptial agreements
- Domestic violence situations
- Child custody disputes
- Child support
- Post-judgment modifications (relevant to child custody, child support and spousal support matters)
- Spousal support
- Paternity
The Law Offices of Evan Samuelson, in Roseville, represents both men and women in divorce. We welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and guide you through divorce or other legal transitions involving your family. Ask specific questions or gain insight into an overview of the divorce process as a whole.
Parental Rights and Responsibilities
Under California law, mothers and fathers, have equal rights and responsibilities when it comes to their children. Both parents have equal rights to custody of their children and both parents are required to financially support their children. We will pursue the best outcome for our clients in regards to parental rights, always focusing on what is in the best interests of the children.
Living Together Agreements
If you and your significant other are living together without the benefit of marriage or a registered domestic partnership, your concerns related to property and support are not technically family law matters. However, our law firm is willing to advise you on ways to draft contracts clarifying property ownership and other essential issues in a relationship.
