Strategic Divorce Representation In Los Angeles And The Bay Area

At the outset of a divorce, there is almost always a breakdown in trust between the divorcing spouses. At Family Law Group, Inc., our clients are seeking protection of their rights and someone they can rely on to guide them through this tumultuous time. We serve clients throughout the Bay Area and LA.

We understand that family law issues can be stressful, and we try to reach an amicable resolution whenever possible. When you cannot reach a settlement out of court, however, our attorneys provide vigorous, focused litigation as they seek to achieve the best outcome possible for our clients.

Putting Decades Of Experience On Your Side

Our lawyers apply more than 75 years of combined experience when representing our clients in all aspects of divorce and legal separation in California, including:

  • Litigated divorce, involving highly contested issues
  • Complex divorce, involving significant marital assets
  • Custody of children and parenting plans
  • Child support orders, including enforcement and modifications
  • Spousal support/alimony for a dependent spouse
  • Property division and debt division

We also represent clients in the dissolution of same-sex marriages and registered domestic partnerships

We know that divorce usually results in significant changes to the lives of the family members. Our goal is to bring you through the process with efficiency, compassion and cost-sensitivity.

Navigating The Dissolution Process

While every divorce is unique, they all follow a similar process. At Family Law Group, Inc., we guide you through each milestone:

  • Filing and service: We work with you to file the initial divorce petition and notify your spouse as required by law.
  • Financial disclosures: Couples must inventory and disclose all assets, debts and income — a critical step where our attention to detail prevents future conflict.
  • Temporary orders: Divorces take time. We secure immediate “status quo” orders to address child custody, support and attorney fees while the case is pending.
  • Discovery and valuation: We work with financial experts to help you understand the full extent of your marital assets and value businesses, real estate, stock options and other assets. We take a detail oriented approach to this stage, especially in high net worth cases where the stakes are high.
  • Settlement or trial: We prioritize mediation and collaborative solutions. However, we prepare each case as if it will go to trial and are willing to fight for you if you and your spouse cannot negotiate a fair agreement.

At every stage we will offer insights based on decades of experience and help you work toward an outcome that protects your interests and reflects your priorities.

Protecting Your Wealth In High-Asset Divorces

For many of our clients in the LA markets, divorce involves more than just splitting a bank account. We have extensive experience dividing complex assets like:

  • Business interests, including professional practices, LLCs and family-owned enterprises.
  • Executive compensation like Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), stock options and deferred bonuses.
  • Separate property, including protecting inherited wealth or assets owned before the marriage via Family Code § 2640 reimbursements.
  • Real estate portfolios, including managing the complexities of high-value primary residences and investment properties.

From your first meeting with Family Law Group, Inc., we will help you create a strategy that safeguards your wealth and your interests.

Managing Your Divorce Case In A Cost-Effective Manner

Because we practice family law exclusively, over the years we have been able to develop not only our legal knowledge but also our business practices to provide exceptional service. All of our work is conducted with the aim of minimizing costs for our clients.

Our skilled associates and support staff assist in research, preparing pleadings and other tasks, reserving our attorneys’ highest billable rates for negotiation, court appearances and other high-level activities.

The Discovery Process: Uncovering The Facts Of Your Case

When questions remain — or transparency is lacking — formal discovery tools can help identify and verify income, assets, business interests and debts so negotiations and court decisions are based on complete information. Depending on the issues in your case, discovery may include:

  • Form Interrogatories: Standardized written questions used to gather core information about finances, property and claims.
  • Special Interrogatories: Customized written questions tailored to the unique facts and concerns in your divorce.
  • Request for Production of Documents (RFP): Formal requests for specific records such as bank statements, tax returns, loan documents and business financials.
  • Depositions: Sworn, out-of-court testimony where a party or witness answers questions on the record.
  • Requests for Admissions (RFA): Written statements asking the other side to admit or deny key facts, helping narrow disputed issues.
  • Subpoenas to Third Parties: Legal demands for information from banks, employers, accountants or other institutions when independent verification is needed.

Used strategically, discovery helps uncover the full financial picture, reduce surprises and position you for a fair settlement or a strong case in court if litigation becomes necessary.
