Services a San Marcos Divorce Lawyer Can Provide 

There are many steps to a divorce process in California, from deciding where to file papers to serving your spouse properly to negotiating key issues like custody, support, and property division. Contreras Law Firm will help you with all these steps. The services that we can offer include:

• Filing paperwork with the court or responding if you are served with court paperwork: There are deadlines to comply with and rules to follow regarding where to file for divorce, what grounds to list, and how your spouse must be served. We will take care of completing all forms and filing requirements on your behalf to move your case forward. 
• Understanding the likely outcomes of your divorce based on default California laws. We can explain to you what property you’re likely to receive under community property rules, what parenting arrangement is likely under the best interests of the child standard, and whether you are in line to get child or spousal support. Understanding these issues helps you agree on a divorce settlement and understand what to expect during the process.
• Negotiating the issues raised in your divorce:  Reaching a compromise results in a cheaper divorce and a better settlement in most cases, but emotions can run high. Our firm can negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf, maximizing the chances you’ll reach an agreement so you can pursue an uncontested divorce. 
• Pursuing a litigated divorce when no compromise is reached: Our team of experienced litigators is ready to go to court and fight for a fair outcome in situations where you can’t find a compromise solution to issues raised by your divorce. 

We’ll also help you in other ways depending on the details of your divorce. To find out about the personalized representation and advocacy we can offer, give us a call at (619) 238-0616 to schedule a free consultation with a San Marcos divorce attorney.
