San Diego Family Law Lawyers

Dealing With General Family Law Procedures in San Diego

Experience and Certification in Family Law

The laws that could directly affect your divorce or other family law proceeding number in the thousands and fill numerous books when collected together. When you face a family law challenge, it's important to work with a family law lawyer who is fully familiar with family laws and San Diego divorce court procedures and is committed to actively protecting your rights at each step.

Firm partners Elizabeth Lewis and Mary Naimish have both practiced family law since 1994 and have each resolved hundreds of family law challenges. We can skillfully and efficiently handle all challenges that arise during your case, including:

• Jurisdiction and family law issues. Individuals' right to file for divorce in California is governed by their length of California residency. We can provide fast answers to your jurisdiction questions.
• Automatic temporary restraining orders. Once you or your spouse files for divorce both of you are barred from making a broad range of changes affecting your finances and children. We can help you understand the effects of automatic temporary restraining orders and work to protect your rights when your spouse violates a restraining order.
• Legal separation and divorce. Our team includes a lawyer certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as a family law specialist. Our firm has handled hundreds of divorces and dozens of legal separations.
• Set aside of orders. In California people engaged in family law disputes can often petition successfully to have previous orders set aside. Set asides are often obtained regarding previously made judgments regarding child support, child custody, visitation, spousal support and paternity.
• Registration of out-of-state orders. Orders from courts located outside of California are generally unenforceable unless they are first registered here. We have handled the registration of numerous out-of-state orders since 1994.

If you have questions regarding family law procedures in California, consider contacting an experienced lawyer at our firm for a no-charge discussion.
