FAQ: "Am I entitled to spousal support?"

It depends.

And it's gender neutral. Either spouse can ask.

Did you know there's a divorce process designed to keep you out of court entirely?

It's called collaborative divorce.

Both spouses and their attorneys sign an agreement to resolve everything through negotiation. No courtroom. No judge deciding your future.

It can be faster, less expensive, and far less adversarial than traditional litigation. It works best when both parties are willing to communicate and compromise.

Not right for every situation. But worth knowing it exists.

Sometimes a family is built in ways that don't fit neatly on paper.

If a step-parent has raised a child as their own, the law allows them to make it official. Step-parent adoption in California gives the child a permanent legal relationship with the step-parent.

For it to happen, the biological parent whose rights are being replaced must either consent or have their rights terminated by the court.

It's a meaningful process. And it's one we're proud to help families through.

She stepped back from her career to raise their children. He advanced in his field. After 18 years, they’re divorcing.⁠

She hasn’t worked full-time in over a decade.⁠

In California, the length of a marriage matters when it comes to spousal support. For long-term marriages, courts have more flexibility to award ongoing support. The goal is to help both spouses maintain a reasonable standard of living while the lower-earning spouse works toward financial independence.⁠

Every situation is different. So is every support order.⁠
