Marital, Divorce and Custody Issues

Our approach to divorce proceedings is to avoid, to the extent reasonably possible, extensive and costly courtroom bickering, and to move dissolution proceedings along quickly and efficiently to settlement. No one "wins" in a divorce case, and the minimization of all costs to the client, including attorney fees and the costs of the settlement itself, financial and emotional, is the very standard by which the success of divorce representation is measured!

Marin Law Partners, LLP can help bring you effective and fair results in a variety of family law matters. Modern family law, particularly here in California, is a rapidly changing and dynamic field. For example, it is becoming increasingly difficult to prepare a valid and enforceable pre-marital (also called "prenuptial") agreement. The law has been struggling in recent years with attempts to increase protections for spouses who sometimes enter into such agreements relatively unaware of their rights, only to have the agreement become the pivotal instrument in depriving them of their legal share of the marital assets during a dissolution proceeding. Thus, it is more than ever in the best interests of both husband and wife to secure a well-prepared premarital agreement.

In the event of a divorce, the foremost issues for most couples are child custody and visitation, and financial concerns. Divorcing spouses often want assurances that their time and relationships with their minor children will not suffer as a result of stressful and life-altering legal proceedings. While there can be no guarantees, Marin Law Partners, LLP can be there throughout the process to advocate for you and assert your legal rights, as well as to negotiate a path through complex community property laws. Whether the issue at stake is child custody, securing adequate support payments, protection from unfairly high payments or loss of assets, competent legal counsel is the best way to assure that you are treated fairly in the courts.

After the divorce proceedings are concluded, there are often residual issues for the divorcing couple which may continue for months or even years. These issues are, most commonly, alteration of child or spousal support payments, and securing altered visitation and/or custody orders. The key to these continuing challenges to former spouses is often the maintenance of an ongoing relationship with competent divorce counsel, familiar with the factual aspects of your particular case. Once again, Marin Law Partners, LLP is here to help. We pride ourselves on maintaining valued relationships with each of our clients, as well as on a rare combination of aggressive lawyering and sensitivity to the difficult emotional stresses inherent in most family law proceedings.
