Divorce and legal separation

Divorce is not just a legal process, it is a significant transition that affects your finances, your family structure, and your future stability.

We take the time to organize financial information, evaluate options, and develop a plan that aligns with your long-term goals.

At Roberts Family Law, PC, we assist service members, military spouses, and their families with military divorce matters in a strategic and thoughtful manner, helping clients understand their rights and obligations under both California law and applicable federal regulations. Whether you are addressing the division of military retirement benefits, custody arrangements during deployment, or support obligations, we work to protect your interests while guiding you through each stage of the process.
Resolving military divorce matters often requires close attention to issues that may not arise in traditional divorce cases, including military pensions, benefits, housing allowances, and the impact of relocation or deployment on parenting arrangements. We help clients organize and evaluate the relevant financial and family information so that agreements and legal decisions are based on a clear understanding of the circumstances involved. Our approach emphasizes preparation, communication, and practical problem-solving to help clients navigate these complex matters with confidence and clarity.

Property Division
Protecting Your Financial Interests Through Careful Asset Division
Property division is often one of the most financially significant aspects of a family law matter. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we help clients navigate the process of identifying, valuing, and dividing assets with careful attention to detail. Whether your case involves straightforward assets or more complex financial structures, we focus on achieving outcomes that are accurate, equitable, and aligned with California law.
In many cases, property division extends beyond basic assets and requires a deeper analysis of financial holdings. This may include real estate, business interests, retirement accounts, stock options, and deferred compensation. We work closely with financial professionals when necessary to ensure that valuations are accurate and that all relevant assets are properly considered. Our goal is to provide clarity in what can often feel like a complicated and overwhelming process.
We also recognize that property division is not just about numbers, it is about long-term financial stability. Decisions made during this stage can have lasting consequences, and thoughtful planning is essential. Whether negotiating a settlement or preparing for litigation, we approach each matter with preparation and strategy to protect your financial interests and help you move forward with confidence.
Spousal Support
Thoughtful Spousal Support Planning for Long-Term Stability
Spousal support is often one of the most financially impactful components of a family law matter, requiring careful consideration of both short-term needs and long-term financial stability. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we guide clients through spousal support issues with a strategic and structured approach, ensuring that all relevant factors are properly evaluated. Whether you are seeking support or may be required to pay it, we work to ensure that any arrangement reflects the realities of your financial situation.
Determining spousal support involves more than applying a formula. Courts consider a range of factors, including income, earning capacity, the length of the marriage, and each party’s financial circumstances. We help clients organize and present this information clearly, ensuring that the court, or the opposing party in negotiations, has an accurate understanding of the financial picture. Our approach emphasizes preparation and thoughtful analysis so that support determinations are grounded in reliable information.
We also understand that spousal support arrangements must be sustainable. Whether negotiating an agreement or advocating in court, we focus on outcomes that are fair and practical over time. By providing candid guidance and strategic advocacy, we help clients make informed decisions that support long-term financial stability rather than short-term solutions.
Child Support
Ensuring Accurate and Fair Child Support Outcomes
Child support plays a critical role in ensuring that a child’s financial needs are met following separation or divorce. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we assist clients in establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders with a focus on accuracy and fairness. While California uses statutory guidelines to calculate support, the outcome depends heavily on properly determining income and relevant expenses.
Accurate child support calculations require a detailed understanding of income, including wages, bonuses, commissions, and self-employment earnings. We work closely with clients to ensure that all financial information is properly documented and presented. In addition to base support, we address add-on expenses such as childcare, healthcare, and extracurricular activities, as well as adjustments related to parenting schedules.
We recognize that child support is not a one-time issue. As circumstances change, support orders may need to be revisited. Whether you are seeking to establish a new order or modify an existing one, we provide strategic guidance and advocacy to ensure that the outcome reflects your child’s needs and your financial situation. Our goal is to help create stability and predictability moving forward.
Custody & Parenting Plans
Creating Stable and Practical Parenting Solutions
Custody and parenting arrangements require thoughtful planning to ensure stability and consistency for children. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we work with clients to develop structured, practical parenting plans that reflect the realities of their family while prioritizing the child’s well-being. Whether your matter is resolved through agreement or requires court involvement, we provide steady guidance throughout the process.
Parenting plans address important issues such as legal custody, physical custody, and scheduling. We help clients create clear and workable agreements that minimize confusion and reduce the likelihood of future conflict. By focusing on clarity and practicality, we aim to establish arrangements that both parents can follow consistently while supporting the child’s needs.
When disputes arise, we are prepared to advocate for our client’s position with careful preparation and strategic focus. Custody matters often require balancing legal standards with the realities of each family’s situation. Our role is to provide candid guidance and effective representation so you can make informed decisions and move forward with a plan that supports long-term stability.
Post-Judgment Modifications
Adapting Court Orders to Life’s Changing Circumstances
Life does not remain static after a court order is issued, and changes in circumstances may require modifications to existing family law orders. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we assist clients in evaluating whether modifications are appropriate and pursuing them through negotiation or litigation when necessary.
Modifications may involve child support, spousal support, or parenting arrangements. The key issue is whether there has been a significant change in circumstances that justifies revisiting the existing order. We work with clients to assess their situation, gather supporting documentation, and determine the most effective approach.
Our focus is on achieving practical, sustainable adjustments that reflect current realities. Whether resolving the matter through agreement or court intervention, we approach each case with preparation and strategy to ensure that any changes are properly supported and clearly defined.
Settlement & Agreement Drafting
Structuring Clear Agreements for Lasting Resolution
Many family law matters can be resolved through carefully structured agreements that provide clarity and stability moving forward. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we work with clients to negotiate and draft agreements that are clear, enforceable, and tailored to their specific needs.
A well-drafted agreement addresses both immediate concerns and long-term implications. We take a comprehensive approach, ensuring that all relevant issues, financial, custodial, and procedural, are clearly defined. This helps reduce ambiguity and minimize the risk of future disputes.
Our goal is to create agreements that provide certainty and efficiency while protecting your interests. By focusing on preparation and attention to detail, we help clients reach resolutions that allow them to move forward with confidence and a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
Litigation & Trial Representation
Prepared, Strategic Advocacy When Court Is Necessary
While many family law matters are resolved outside of court, some cases require litigation to protect a client’s interests. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we provide strategic, well-prepared representation in court, focusing on effective advocacy and thorough case presentation.
Litigation requires careful preparation, organization, and a clear strategy. We take a measured approach, ensuring that every aspect of your case is thoroughly analyzed and presented effectively. Our focus is not on unnecessary conflict, but on achieving outcomes that are supported by strong preparation and sound legal reasoning.
We understand that going to court can feel overwhelming. Our role is to provide steady guidance, clear communication, and confident advocacy so you are fully prepared at every stage. By combining experience with strategic planning, we work to protect your interests and pursue the best possible outcome.
Limited Scope Representation
Flexible Legal Support Tailored to Your Needs
Not every family law matter requires full legal representation. At Roberts Family Law, PC, we offer limited scope representation for clients who need assistance with specific aspects of their case while maintaining control over the overall process.
Limited scope representation allows you to receive targeted legal support where it is most needed, whether that involves document preparation, legal advice, or representation for a particular hearing. This approach provides flexibility and can be a more efficient option for certain situations.
We work with clients to define the scope of representation clearly, ensuring that expectations are understood from the outset. Our goal is to provide focused, strategic assistance that helps you navigate your case with greater confidence while maintaining control over your legal matter.
