Family Law Lawyers in San Diego

Family Law San Diego – Helping Families Since 1990

Family law governs every legal situation involving your household, your marriage, your children, and any extended family member or resident in your home. Aside from being incredibly broad, family law is also among the most emotional areas of law there is.

For your family's legal situation, you need a San Diego family lawyer who understands your personal needs, as well as the laws that address them. This mixture of personal and legal, and compassionate, is the foundation of our approach at Family Law San Diego.

As family lawyers in San Diego, California, our team includes award-winning, board-certified specialists who handle family law cases of all kinds.

Types of family law cases in San Diego County include:

Commonly Asked Questions

What is family law?

Family law governs legal situations involving households, marriages, children, and extended family members. It is a broad area of law that deals with emotional matters.

Why do I need a family lawyer?

A family lawyer understands your personal needs and the laws that address them. They provide guidance and support in navigating the complexities of family law cases.

How long does a family law case typically take?

The duration of a family law case depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the case, the cooperation of the parties involved, and the court's schedule. Some cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, while others may require litigation, which can prolong the process.

What is an uncontested divorce and how can it benefit me?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all major issues, such as property division, child custody, and support arrangements. This type of divorce can significantly reduce the emotional and financial strain typically associated with litigation. In San Diego, opting for an uncontested divorce allows couples to maintain control over their decisions, leading to a more amicable resolution. By avoiding court battles, you can save time and money, making the process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved, especially if children are part of the equation.

How does mediation work in the context of an uncontested divorce?

Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third party helps couples negotiate their divorce terms. In an uncontested divorce, mediation can facilitate open communication, allowing both parties to express their needs and concerns. This approach often leads to mutually beneficial agreements without the need for court intervention. In San Diego, our family law firm provides experienced mediators who understand local laws and can guide you through the process, ensuring that your interests are represented while fostering a cooperative environment.

ALTERNATIVES TO LITIGATION & COURT HEARINGS

One of the ways our family law firm helps families achieve the best outcomes is through innovative, creative legal solutions. While we are experienced litigators, we recognize that some families receive more damage than good from a protracted divorce or child custody trial.

Our San Diego family attorneys have invested hundreds of hours of training and experience into:

Through these solutions, we can resolve your family law case with speed, effectiveness, and far less personal and financial cost than a trial. These solutions put you in direct control of your fate. Court orders must be followed at the conclusion of a trial, for better or worse—in mediation, a compromise between the two parties can be far more beneficial to everyone, especially if children are involved.
