Choose a Divorce Lawyer That Understands the Meaning of “Family”
In the state of California, divorce is legally called “dissolution of marriage.” California was the first no-fault divorce state, which means a divorce will be granted if “irreconcilable differences” have made reconciliation impossible.
At the Bayati Law Group, our attorneys fight aggressively to win favorable divorce terms and settlements for each client working through the legal separation or divorce process.
We uncover any hidden assets, and we ensure that marital property is divided fairly and equitably. Unlike less personable law firms, we advocate for your children’s best interests regarding custody, visitation, and child support, and if an agreement cannot be reached outside of court, we will move into the litigation phase and continue fighting for you.
We also represent clients when custody, support, and visitation orders need changes or – to use the legal term – “modifications.”
To seek a divorce in this state, at least one spouse must be a resident of California for at least six continuous months and a resident of the county where the petition is filed for at least three continuous months. Divorce attorneys can sometimes negotiate out-of-court agreements regarding divorce-related disputes, but we will not hesitate to go to trial of your behalf if that’s what it takes to ensure that you are treated justly and fairly.
The Right Family Law Firm Can Help You Avoid an Ugly Child Custody Battle in the Orange County Courts
Nothing can cause more anxiety or concern than a dispute over the custody of your child or children. Who will raise your children? When will you be able to see them? In any child custody dispute, you’ll need an experienced child custody attorney on your side, someone who understands your concerns and apprehensions.
The family law attorneys at the Bayati Law Group handle all aspects of child custody cases including visitation privileges, decision-making rights, emergency issues, modification of custody orders, and enforcement.
Let an experienced child custody attorney examine the facts regarding your custody dispute, explain your legal options, and help you make the right decisions for yourself and your children.
One of the Top Law Firms Fighting for Child Support Rights in Southern California
Child support orders are court orders that obligate a non-custodial parent to provide monthly financial support for his or her children. In California, child support guidelines approved by the state’s lawmakers determine the amount of child support a non-custodial parent owes a custodial parent. The child support formula takes into account how much each parent earns, additional income either parent may receive, how many children are in need of support, and how much time each parent spends with his or her child or children.
Child support in most cases is paid through the child’s 18th birthday. It may be extended by the agreement of both parents, or until age 19 if the child is still in high school, or in some cases if the child is physically or mentally handicapped.
The lawyers at our family law firm can review your case at your request, work with you through every step of the process, and provide you with the legal resources you need to resolve your child support issue.
Only the Top Lawyers Make Sure That Mediation Doesn’t Become a Headache
Divorces are always difficult, but they need not be contentious. A mediated divorce lets couples avoid the tension and expense of court. If you and the spouse you are divorcing can reach agreements on matters like property division and child support, mediation may be right for you.
Mediation is not for every couple, but if you are involved in a divorce or a divorce-related dispute that might be resolved through mediation, contact the Bayati Law group today. A mediated settlement often provides the best possible solution.
Looking to Put a Swift End to Domestic Violence in Orange County
California treats domestic violence as a serious crime. The Bayati Law Group can explain California’s domestic violence laws and help you obtain the legal protection you and your children need. We offer help obtaining both temporary and permanent restraining orders that will put a stop to the violence.
We’ve helped scores of domestic violence victims over the years, and we know how to help you stay safe, understand your options, and make the law work for you.
Unlike Other Attorneys, We Fight for Paternity Protection for You and Your Child
Paternity is the legal finding that a particular person is the father of a child. When paternity is established, a child has the right to support from both parents, medical and life insurance coverage, and inheritance protection.
If you are looking to establish your own or another’s paternity, or if you need to prove that you or another person is not a father, it can be a complicated legal procedure.
Contact an experienced paternity lawyer with the Bayati Law Group for the legal help you need with any aspect of a California paternity action.
