Practicing Family Law in California for Over 30 Years

Adoption
If you are thinking about or in the process of adopting a child, there are a number of important legal issues, which you and your family need to be aware. Contact the family legal experts at John Anderson Law to gain a better understanding of the wide-reaching implications of a California legal adoption.

Divorce / Legal Separation
If you have been served divorce/dissolution of marriage papers or are seriously considering initiating a divorce, contact the Offices of John Anderson Law to speak with a California divorce lawyer for a thorough review of the specific issues pertaining to your case.

Child Custody / Visitation
The sensitive subjects of child custody and visitation rights are a challenge for any family law attorney. The experienced family law experts at John Anderson Law will help to mediate agreements that benefit everyone involved. If cases of contempt or the need for enforcement arise, our family law team will assist in pursuing modifications and legal solutions to solve the problems.

Child Support
Navigating the maze of California child support law requires an experienced and committed attorney willing to fight diligently to procure the best possible judgment in your favor. The attorneys at John Anderson Law understand how to obtain a practical settlement that will benefit both our client and their child.

Spousal Support
The amount of support awarded to a spouse in a California divorce can vary greatly based on a wide variety of factors in the case. These factors include: the length of your marriage, the amount of your income, the amount of your spouse’s income, the existence of children, who retains child custody, who pays child support and how much, and the division of your community property.

Modification of Divorce Decree
Sometimes your financial ability to pay may have changed due to a change in your financial circumstances. To help ensure your spousal support and/or child support determination is fair and reasonable to you, contact the attorneys at John Anderson Family Law in California.

Enforcement
It may be necessary to file an enforcement action against an ex-spouse to obtain late or missed payments of child support and/or spousal support, or to enforce a settlement issue in a divorce decree. The attorneys at John Anderson Law will help you locate a former spouse and collect the support you deserve.

Domestic Violence
The Family Law team at John Anderson Law offers support and understanding for abused spouses and their families. We will file restraining orders and help break the cycle of violence through the proper legal channels.

Restraining Orders
The process of taking out a restraining order in California is not difficult. A restraining order is an official action that will notify the court and the police or appropriate law enforcement of the situation and create an official record.

Defending against a Restraining Order
Because the process of obtaining a restraining order in California is relatively easy, a client may find that they are in the unfortunate position of defending themselves against a restraining order filed by a disgruntled spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend or other acquaintance. A restraining order may be harmful to your reputation, employment and safety if you unknowingly violate it. Contact an attorney at John Anderson Law to help handle the ill effects of a restraining order that has been unfairly issued against you.

DCSS / DPSS Hearings
Often a hearing with the Department of Child Support Services or the Department of Public Social Services may arise as the result of a California family legal matter. It is important for you to understand your rights under California family law and to protect your interests in a DCSS or DPSS hearing. The attorneys at John Anderson Family Law will be at your side with the experience and knowledge you need in a DCSS or DPSS hearing.
