Divorce is difficult. When children are involved, the decisions made during a family law case can shape a family’s future for years to come.

From legal and physical custody to child support, domestic violence allegations, parenting time, and move-away cases, California courts generally focus on one central principle: the best interests of the child.

Our latest legal article, “California Divorce and Child Custody: What Parents Need to Know About Custody, Support, Domestic Violence, and Move-Away Cases,” explains some of the key issues parents should understand when navigating California family law.

At the Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates, we believe informed decisions begin with understanding your rights, responsibilities, and the legal process.

Does California employment law follow remote employees across state lines?

A new 2026 California Court of Appeal decision highlights an increasingly important issue for both employers and employees: when a California company has employees working in other states, which state’s employment laws actually apply?

The answer can significantly impact termination, retaliation, discrimination, background checks, wage-and-hour claims, and other workplace disputes.

Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates represents both employers and employees in complex employment and business litigation throughout California.

Before you terminate an employee, make sure the decision doesn’t create a bigger legal problem for your business.

California may generally follow at-will employment, but “at-will” does not mean “without legal risk.” Discrimination, retaliation, protected leave, disability accommodations, wage-and-hour issues, whistleblower activity, and workplace complaints can all complicate an otherwise routine termination.

In our latest article, “Before You Fire an Employee: 7 Legal Mistakes California Employers Should Avoid,” the attorneys at Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates (PPRCLaw) highlight common mistakes employers should consider before making a termination decision final.

For business owners, executives, and HR professionals, addressing potential issues before a termination can help reduce the risk of costly disputes and litigation.

Employee theft is one of the most financially devastating risks facing businesses today. While many business owners invest significant resources in protecting against cybercrime and external fraud, some of the most costly losses occur from within the organization.

From small family-owned businesses to large corporations, employee embezzlement can take many forms, often remaining undetected for months or even years. By the time the misconduct is discovered, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars may have been lost.

Understanding the warning signs and taking prompt legal action can make the difference between recovering your losses and permanently losing valuable business assets.

Federal employment laws may be changing, but California employers should not let their guard down.

Recent federal efforts to modernize independent contractor classifications and overtime regulations have generated significant attention nationwide. However, for California businesses, these changes do not eliminate the state's strict employment law requirements.

California continues to enforce some of the nation's most employee-protective labor laws, often imposing standards that go well beyond federal regulations. Employers who rely solely on federal updates may unknowingly expose their businesses to costly wage-and-hour claims, employee misclassification lawsuits, and class or PAGA actions.

Our latest legal article explains:
✔️ Why federal changes may have little practical impact in California
✔️ The legal risks California employers still face
✔️ Practical strategies to reduce exposure and stay compliant

At Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates, we aggressively represent employers and employees in complex employment disputes while helping businesses navigate California's ever-changing legal landscape before litigation arises.
