At Equal Justice Law Group, our team is on your side and will guide you every step of the way! Call today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can serve your family.

Divorce

Divorce is an extremely difficult transition to face, partly because it is such an emotional experience and partly because there are many consequential decisions that you will need to make (regarding property and asset division, debt division, custody, etc.). Divorce usually involves some level of conflict, although working together with your spouse to find the right agreement will give you more control over the terms and outcome. Our knowledgeable Jackson family lawyer can explain your rights and options and protect your best interests. 

Custody

Custody is the hardest part of divorce to navigate, because it is the most personal and consequential – your kids matter most to you. How custody is set will affect not only your relationship with them and whether or not they live with you, but also whether or not you will get to make decisions about their lives, what their and your relationship with extended family members will be like, how financially secure you and your children will be, etc. In California, there are several categories of custody, and a judge will take many different factors into consideration when determining what the arrangement will be. Generally, parents are encouraged by the state to share custody as equally as possible. We can listen to your story, answer your questions, and stand up for your parental rights. We will ensure a fair outcome.

Alimony & Child Support

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is an amount that the courts may order one spouse to pay the other based on an unequal income or living situation – for example, if one spouse was a stay-at-home parent, a divorce would leave them in a desperate financial situation without some form of support left by the spouse. However, sometimes alimony can be a tool that spouses use against each other in a split. Whether you are trying to secure a fair amount of alimony or defend against it, we will build a strong case for your desired outcome! 

Child support may be paid by one or both parents, depending on the terms of the custody agreement, and is designed to ensure the financial security of the children, so that everything they need to thrive is paid for. How much child support is paid and when will depend on many factors; ultimately, our skilled Jackson family law attorney can pursue or defend an amount that reflects your child’s unique needs and that will pave the way for future financial success.
