Did you know there was a holiday to show your gratitude to all the hardworking lawyers you know or work with? It's celebrated the 2nd Tuesday in April every year. If you missed it - that's ok! A little kindness can make a lawyers day ANY day of the week! 😊

We appreciate how lawyers get into sticky situations so we can get out of them!

If you have children, a divorce can be extra difficult to navigate. There are considerations for custody, care and support and also who the child may want to live with. Does their choice truly affect the outcome of parental custody?

In California, it really depends. The court may listen to the child’s opinion, especially if they are of an age sufficient to express intelligent reasoning, but ultimately the decision will be based on the child’s best interests. Every situation is unique and the courts strive to place the children with the parent most suitable to meet their needs, even if that outcome is difficult for one side or the other.

Having experienced representation, like the attorneys at Lord & Brooker, APC, can give you the best chance possible to fight for your rights as a parent and achieve a favorable outcome. Call our office today to discuss your case and see how we can help.

February is the shortest month of the year, but tends to be a busy month for family law offices. Statistically, we see an uptick in divorce filings (starting the day after the Valentine's holiday). While there is no single reason as to WHY this is, it's been shown to happen year over year - and our office is ready to help you navigate this process.

February 1st is Conservatorship and Guardianship Abuse Awareness Day. Although judges approve a conservatorship to protect the conservatee, the legal arrangement doesn’t always work out that way.

Financial exploitation, physical abuse, and neglect can all occur, even though the law requires conservators to look out for the conservatee’s best interests.

What can you do if a loved one or friend is a victim of this? Filing a petition to request an official court hearing is the first step. You can request to either terminate the conservatorship outright or appoint a replacement conservator.

Our experienced attorneys will offer their expert & compassionate advice to help you navigate this trying time effectively.

Contact our office if you have any questions.
