At The Law Offices of Blacker, Sammis & Blacker, we strive to position clients to move ahead with their lives after the divorce is finalized. We believe that part of our role is client education. We take special care to inform our clients about their options and the potential consequences of their decisions.
Our attorneys offer the following points to consider when contemplating divorce:
- We work toward divorce solutions to which both parties can agree.
- Mediation and negotiation are important alternatives to litigation. Litigation can mean surrendering your control. If the parties cannot come to an agreement, a judge may decide how the assets and debts are divided.
- There are pros and cons to using a private judge versus the public court system.
- California uses a formula to determine the amount of child support to be paid or received. Spousal support (also known as alimony) is set by the court if the parties cannot agree.
