At McKean Family Law, we have experience helping people like you through a wide variety of matters in family law, including divorce, separation, spousal support, child custody, child support, relocation and more.

Divorce

If you are going through a divorce, it can be crucial to have a lawyer on your side. A skilled attorney can treat you with compassion as you go through a difficult time, but also fight for your rights in difficult legal and financial matters.

Child Custody

In deciding any child custody matter, the court must make its decision based upon the best interest of the child. Unfortunately, in some cases, parents must prove to the court that they are fit to raise their children. If you are in this position, you know that it is a highly emotional and even frightening experience. It can make a big difference to have a lawyer on your side.

Spousal Support

When a divorce is imminent and a couple decides to split and file to dissolve their marriage through divorce, they should contact an attorney to understand spousal support. Spousal support, also referred to as alimony, is a court-ordered amount of money due from one divorcing spouse to the other.

Property Division

When a couple divorces in California, the property they acquired during the marriage is divided according to state law. This includes assets such as real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, and investments, as well as debts. Generally, each spouse is entitled to half of the marital property. However, several factors can impact how property is divided.
