What Does Contreras Law Firm Do For You?
Contreras Law Firm can take care of all of the legal matters that are involved in your family law case. Our firm is focused on communicating with you regularly and taking the burden of handling legal issues out of your hands so we can move your case along and protect your rights.
Here are some of the different services we offer as your family law issues are resolved:
- Filing court paperwork: It’s confusing to figure out what forms to file when you’re filing for divorce, adopting a child, or petitioning to change a custody agreement. In these and other situations, our legal team takes care of preparing the necessary documents.
- Explaining your rights: You need to know what the law says about your case so you can prepare for realistic outcomes and ensure that you make informed choices when trying to negotiate a resolution. For example, community property rules say marital property is divided 50/50, so when you negotiate on property division, this can guide you toward a fair outcome.
- Negotiating on your behalf: Many family law issues can be resolved more effectively and more inexpensively if you can negotiate on the issues out of court. Our firm will help you to do that as our attorneys have very strong negotiating skills. We help you keep emotions out of the process so you can draft an agreement that makes sense for your family’s needs.
- Preparing solid legal arguments for your preferred outcomes: When your case must be resolved in court, you need an experienced litigator who can make strong arguments to convince the judge that the correct application of the law results in your desired outcomes. We have the litigation experience to make that happen.
- Drafting a divorce agreement or parenting plan for you: When you come to an out-of-court agreement on divorce or custody, you need to draft a document that makes your wishes known and that is legally enforceable. Our firm has helped many clients put their plans in place.
How Does California Law Affect Your Family Law Case?
There are many California laws that apply to family law matters. For example, California Code, Family Code – FAM § 7960 establishes the legal rules surrounding assisted reproductive agreements, and you need to know those rules if you are entering into a surrogacy arrangement as either the intended or birthing parents.
If you are divorcing, on the other hand, there are many rules to know including community property rules set forth under California Code Section 760 and rules for alimony and spousal support found in California Code Sections 4320 – 4326. When it comes to child custody, California Code Section 3011 sets for the best interest of the child standard that will govern how parenting time is shared.
Contreras Law Firm knows these rules inside and out. Our firm will explain how they affect your case and will make solid legal arguments that the application of these rules should result in the outcomes you’re hoping for. When negotiating issues in your family law case, these rules will also be the guide so you can make realistic demands and maximize the chances of compromise.
