Dissolution of Marriage, as it is called in California courts, affects many lives. The details and lasting ramifications can extend well past the conclusions of even the most amicable divorce settlements.

This maze of legal difficulties should not add to your emotional stress. At the Law Offices of Gary W. Kearney, in Pasadena, we are led by a certified family law specialist by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Rest assured that our attorneys effectively handle the full range of family law situations. Call us toll-free today at 866-859-1507.

We will be responsible for the various filings and negotiations that come with a divorce. This includes providing input on child custody and visitation issues, and assisting in determining appropriate child support if there are children in the marriage. We will also assist in the areas of alimony and spousal support and business valuation if they apply to your situation.

In addition, we have experience with issues relating to:

• Domestic partnerships and the dissolution of domestic partnerships
• Prenuptial and cohabitation agreements
• Post -Nuptial agreements
• Modifications of support and custody orders
• Termination of parental rights and stepparent adoptions

Family Law Appeals

We excel at the appellate level as well. We have extensive trial experience with both writs and appeals of divorce related matters. Notably, we served as appellate counsel in the case of In re Marriage of Laudeman, which established the circumstances in which a child support order may be modified.

Collaborative Family Law

Collaborative family law is a way for people who are divorcing to reach a resolution without resorting to costly litigation. We provide mediation of your marital differences as well, in the event that you have not yet decided on divorce. Meetings can occur in office or home settings, with representation for both sides and mental health professionals in attendance.
