Family Law

Family Law Representation in Pasadena

A good family law attorney should be able to help a client deal with the legal impact of any major life event or life change, such as divorce, adoption, child support modifications, visitation or custody, spousal support, and division of assets.

Fortunately for you, the prospective family law client, at the Law Offices of Gary W. Kearney, our twenty-year track record is more than good. From initial consultation through the amicable, inexpensive settlements we aim for, we are sensitive to your needs, constantly in touch, prepared for any development, and budget-conscious.

A Full Service Family Law Firm

Only a truly full service family law firm would monitor changing circumstances to see if a modification of the stipulations in your divorce agreement is necessary. Living conditions change, jobs are taken and lost, and incomes fluctuate. We are on the lookout for those changes, and know how to help you deal with them. Consider it a kind of service after the sale.

At the Law Offices of Gary W. Kearney, we do our best to resolve your case and post-divorce issues as economically as possible, given the tax implications of these actions. Some negotiated resolutions or trials can have potential tax consequences. Our lawyers keep a close watch on new tax developments and pass that word on to our clients.

Domestic Partners

If a domestic partnership is in your plans, the Law Offices of Gary W. Kearney can advise as to your registration, intra-state benefits, and the role of city and state pensions as spelled out in California's Domestic Partnership Act.

Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements

Many marriages could benefit from premarital financial planning and prenuptial contracts that list the responsibilities of each spouse. Our attorneys will be glad to draft and analyze a marital or cohabitation agreement that suits your needs.
