Divorce (or Legal Separation) 

Our law firm has a track record of obtaining positive outcomes in delicate family issues surrounding divorce. We represent people of all genders—including couples confronting the complex issues in a military divorce—in resolving divorce matters through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

Matters we help San Diego families resolve include: 

  • Child custody and visitation
  • Property division and allocation of debt

Mediation (Divorce & Family)

With over 60 years of combined family law experience, our office is equipped to facilitate the resolution of complex divorce and family law issues through the California mediation process.

Child Custody & Visitation Issues

For simple or complex child custody situations, we have a broad range of skills and services when it comes to child custody matters. We have successfully helped parents and grandparents win their custody cases involving substance abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, personality disorders, parental alienation, and more.
