Contested and Uncontested Divorce: Attorney Michael Nathans has more than 16 years of experience handling legal separations and divorce in Southern California. Our cases range from high-stakes disputes involving complex property division and spousal support to amicable, low-cost uncontested divorces. We offer our clients options in the methods used to arrive at settlement agreements, including negotiation, mediation and out-of-court settlement. When divorce litigation cannot be avoided, we are aggressive advocates, protecting your parental rights and financial interests.
Child Custody and Visitation: Because of his extensive experience helping families with child custody and visitation matters, Mr. Nathans is frequently appointed by family law courts to represent children in contested divorce and child custody cases. Our firm can help you develop a parenting plan that protects the relationship you cherish most — that of parent and child. We help families with modification of custody and parenting plans and with sensitive move-away situations. We also accept grandparents' rights cases and other complex custody matters.
Child Support: An initial child support order usually follows California's Child Support Guidelines. But situations change, children grow, and your initial support order may need to be modified. We can explain how state child support guidelines will apply to you, help you enforce a support order, and get money owed to you. We also defend parents who have been unfairly overcharged and those facing legal penalties for failing to pay support.
Paternity: Establishing paternity of a child will trigger child support and a parenting plan to establish visitation or custody. Whether you are seeking to challenge or establish paternity, we have the experience and resources to secure your rights.
Domestic Violence: Unfortunately, domestic violence in the form of spousal abuse or child abuse is not uncommon. Whether you are seeking a protective order, or you have been falsely accused of abuse in the context of a divorce proceeding, we will provide prompt, responsive legal help.
Domestic Partners: The situation faced by same sex couples is unique and complex, but the steps to dissolution of a registered domestic partnership remain similar to divorce. We stay abreast of cutting-edge developments in California family law relating to gay and lesbian couples, same-sex marriage, and registered domestic partnerships.
