You've been raising your grandkids โ€” feeding them, clothing them, school runs, medical appointments โ€” and then the school won't talk to you, because legally you're a stranger to them. In California you can petition for a guardianship and become the holder of their educational and medical rights, so schools and doctors can actually talk to you, and you can make the decisions your grandchildren need. I'm Michael DeDecker. If you're in that spot, don't feel stuck โ€” call the office and we'll guide you through the process.

Every family that walks into my office is dealing with something different โ€” custody, a divorce, a dependency case, a guardianship. What doesn't change is that you deserve someone who will sit down, listen, and tell you plainly what your options are. I'm Michael DeDecker, and my office in Folsom handles family law and juvenile matters for families across the greater Sacramento area. When you're ready, we're here.

When adoptive parents put together their profile for birth parents to review, I always tell them: show the life, not just say it. A video with toys out, family gathered, everyone genuinely enjoying each other โ€” that tells a birth mother more than any paragraph could about the home her child would grow up in. I'm Michael DeDecker, and I help families through every step of the adoption process, including getting that first impression right. If you're starting that journey, let's talk.

A commenter asked if you can get a restraining order for stalking โ€” yes, and the more documentation you have (photos, texts, medical records, witness statements), the stronger your case going in. But I've also had cases with very little physical evidence where the victim testified and the restraining order was still granted. So if you're being stalked or experiencing violence, don't let a lack of paperwork stop you from pursuing protection. I'm Michael DeDecker โ€” if you need to talk through your options, reach out.

Most people who call my office have never needed a family lawyer before, and they're not sure what they're even asking for. That's fine โ€” that's the job. I'm Michael DeDecker, and the first conversation is mostly me listening, then telling you plainly what your options look like. If you've been putting off making that call, this is your nudge.

Someone asked what happens if you win the lottery while your divorce is still pending. In California, if you've been separated for a year, aren't living together, and haven't commingled it with joint accounts, that money is generally treated as your separate property โ€” even before the judgment is final. It can still factor into support calculations or attorney's fees, so it's worth talking through the specifics with someone who knows your case. I'm Michael DeDecker โ€” if you're sorting out property division in a divorce, let's talk.

Responding to a commenter from my previous video titled: CPS doesn't steal babies, they help families โ€” and from what I've seen, that's often true. I've had former clients get their kids back, then go on to start their own support and advocacy groups; I've even seen a few become social workers themselves. Every case is different and I can't speak to how yours will go, but reunification happens more than people expect. I'm Michael DeDecker, and if you're in the middle of a CPS case, let's talk about where things stand.

Friday around here: we asked Matt what he thinks of people who sleep with socks on. His answer โ€” red flag. Then we asked what he'd do if his own mother slept with socks on. "My mom can do no wrong." Correct answer, Matt. I'm Michael DeDecker, and yes, this is what the office is like between hearings. Family law is heavy work; we take the light moments where we can find them.

Some families come to me to grow, and some come to protect what they've already built. Often it's the same family a few years apart. I'm Michael DeDecker, and my office handles adoption, estate planning, and the protective side of family law โ€” the paperwork that quietly holds everything together. If you're thinking about either, call the office and let's start the conversation.

I get asked what happens when intended parents put an unusual request into a surrogacy agreement. Something like requiring the surrogate to attend a particular church every week โ€” that's the kind of term that likely isn't enforceable and creates restrictions that aren't fair to anyone. Asking that she not smoke during the pregnancy is a different matter entirely. I'm Michael DeDecker, and the work that matters is in the negotiation: defining clearly what's expected before anyone signs, so nobody is surprised later. If you're starting a surrogacy journey, let's talk.
