Mission Viejo Family Law Attorney
Also Serving Clients in Long Beach & Across Southern California
Family law covers legal matters related to family relationships and, as such, is about more than just divorce. While divorce may be the most common family law issue, it can break down into many aspects and arrangements that must be resolved to handle children, finances, the marital home, debts, and property, and more. Every divorce case is unique with its own set of family dynamics, financial arrangements, personalities, needs, and priorities. Some may involve domestic violence while others may be simple where the two parties can amicably separate without the need for extensive court intervention.
Regardless of how simple or complex your family law issue may be, you need to understand your legal rights under the law and how the decisions you make can affect you and your family for the long term. You may also need compassionate support as you grapple with these issues and the vast array of emotions that you can experience because of them. Where children and marital assets are concerned, the stakes may be high causing further stress. At Curtis Family Law, we understand how difficult this time can be for you and how invaluable proper counsel can be in helping you move through the legal process with as little stress as possible. Because you will be working with a Certified Family Law Specialist with 40 years of experience, you can be confident that representation from our firm will be of the highest level.
