Santa Rosa Divorce and Child Custody Lawyer - Robert E. MarmorLegal issues that involve your family can be emotional and overwhelming. By enlisting the assistance of an experienced divorce attorney, the process of seeking a resolution to your situation can be simplified. Perhaps most helpful is that a lawyer can explain the legal process and your options in terms you can understand, giving you the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision about how to proceed. At the Law Offices of Robert E. Marmor, my first priority is my clients. I take the time to get to know them, learning about their families and their unique situations. By doing this, I am better able to pursue a resolution to the case that is in their best interests. My firm is focused on handling a wide range of family law cases and situations, including those listed below. DivorceWhether your divorce is contested or uncontested, it is important to ensure your rights are protected. I strive to help my clients understand the divorce process and the many different issues that must be considered, such as: - Property division (including community property issues and complex property like the handling of retirement accounts, 401(k)s, real estate and closely-held corporations)
- Alimony (also known as "spousal support" or "spousal maintenance")
- Legal separation
- Dissolution of domestic partnerships
- Domestic violence and restraining orders
Child CustodyChild custody cases need to be handled especially carefully, as the children's states of mind and best interests must be kept at the forefront of the case. There are several different types of custody, including physical custody, legal custody and joint custody. These terms all mean different things to each parent. I can explain the various types of custody and visitation arrangements, help you understand what is best for you and your children, and establish parenting time agreements when necessary. I often arrange for my client and the other parent to work with an experienced co-parent counselor to resolve custody and visitation issues outside of the courtroom. This can not only speed the process along, but often removes some of the emotions associated with a contentious courtroom battle. - I also handle cases for clients seeking a modification to or enforcement of an existing family court order regarding child custody, child support, alimony, property division or other issues.
Collaborative Law If a couple is able to work together to establish the terms of their divorce, I recommend using the collaborative process. This is an amicable process where both sides work in cooperation to ensure that all needs are met and where the parties agree to any decisions that are made. The process can be cost-effective and efficient, and also allows the parties to have more control over the outcome of their family law issues.
