    Child Custody/Support in Orange County

    One of the most common types of divorces will include children below the age of eighteen which will bring about additional areas to any divorce proceeding such as child custody and child support obligations between both parents. Matters can become further complicated in cases of same sex marriages or marriages where adoption or out of wedlock children are in question.

    California allows for shared custody of the child along with other alternatives such as sole custody and the courts will rule based on what is shown to be in the best interest of the children. There can be several factors that will weigh heavily into any case including physical/emotional abuse, child neglect, parental drug abuse and parental criminal history. These factors among other can be utilized to show  that one of the parents is not currently up to the task of jointly sharing responsibility for child custody.

    When hiring an attorney, it is crucial to ensure they have the skills to help you uncover any and all information that will help you during the child custody and/or divorce proceedings. Often obtaining 3rd party professionals for their unbiased review of your case can make a meaningful difference.

    At Walker Law Corporation, we know a divorce that includes child custody can become a highly contested situation and will involve a good deal of stress should your case not be handled with the special attention it deserves. We will make every available effort to reduce your stress by offering direct contact to your attorney throughout the child custody proceedings and are more than happy to answer any questions that you may have to alleviate stress and/or update you on the current status of your case and the strategy that we will use.

    Property Division in Orange County

    An important concern for all couples in divorce proceedings is property division and ensuring that they get their fair share of community property belongings such as furniture, homes, money, businesses and autos. The State of California is a community property state meaning property both parties have acquired during the marriage is considered to be jointly owned property by both you and your spouse.

    There are a few exceptions to this community property rule such as certain gifts and inheritances which must be established in a court of law. Unless you are able to show clear evidence that you have sole ownership of an asset, the courts will normally divide all items between the two parties.

    Although the above is traditionally upheld by the California courts, a good lawyer may find loopholes that can help you retain or obtain sole custody of certain belongings provided it is successfully argued before the courts.

    At Walker Law Corporation, we have experience working within the Orange County court system and have in-depth knowledge of making case arguments in favor of our clients when the area of property division is at stake. We analyze your pre and post marriage situation looking for areas that can help benefit you when it comes time to making your argument on fair property division and assets.

    When you need a divorce attorney on your side who is passionate about representing your best interests, trust Walker Law Corporation to be with you every step of the way throughout your divorce. To schedule a free consultation regarding your property division concerns or any other topic related to divorce, give us a call any time.

    Spousal Support in Orange County

    All divorces will include a consideration of spousal support and whether and to what extent either party may be entitled to spousal support. Typically, the major bread winner of the marriage will be required to pay some level of support to the other spouse to provide as best as possible for the continued maintenance of the parties in their customary standard of living.

    Both parties’ income histories, careers and time spent caring for children during the marriage will be taken into consideration when the Court issues its decision on the amount of spousal support. There are a multitude of factors which can be relevant to a correct determination of spousal support and the duration of any spousal support order.

    In most divorces the Court will award one of the parties a right to receive spousal support for half of the duration of the marriage, for an eight-year marriage the duration is usually four years. If the parties were married for more than ten years the court typically will order the spousal support for the remainder of the supported x-spouses lifetime or remarriage.

    At Walker Law Corporation we have the expertise to handle litigation of spousal support issues including marriages which lasted longer than ten years.  Our strategy starts with you. We take note of every aspect to your marriage and will provide divorce advice to help make the entire process as stress free and clear as possible.

    Prenuptial Agreements in Orange County

    Prenuptial agreements in Orange County are now very common for persons with significant assets and/or income. There are a multitude of reasons why either party may wish to have a premarital agreement which is also called a prenuptial agreement.

    The major benefit of a prenuptial agreement is that it protects each spouse from the other spouses’ creditors which may arise during the marriage for any reason, thereby providing protection to the family against complete financial disarray.

    A second and common goal of parties wishing to have a prenuptial agreement is to set forth the parties’ separate property assets which each party owned prior to the marriage. A prenuptial agreement will allow the parties to set forth these separate property assets and ensure that they remain separate throughout the duration of the marriage and beyond. A prenuptial agreement can be utilized in conjunction with estate planning to ensure that any children are provided for in the event of a catastrophe.

    A final reason that parties typically wish to have a prenuptial agreement is to specify what will happen to the community property and quasi community property if the parties do ever decide to obtain a divorce thereby greatly reducing the attorney’s fees and other costs which are typically incurred in divorces.

    Client Testimonials

    My divorce was among the most complicated and hostile cases imaginable. My case involved a nightmarish custody battle, misappropriated/transferred/hidden assets, my husband’s fraudulent business, concealed income, and even Marvin law. Sam knew exactly how to proceed with discovery against a 100% uncooperative (and fiendishly clever) adversary. He sifted through vast quantities of records and information and was able to synthesize that chaos into a clear picture that actually told my story. He developed a legal strategy to reveal the truth. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn that a good attorney can also be a good person. Sam is intelligent, assertive, highly capable, and yet caring as well. In short, I could not recommend him more highly.

    Mr. Walker handled my case with the utmost of care and walked me through the process of gaining custody of my daughters. He made sure that I knew what was happening as soon as he heard from the judge or the other attorney. I trust Mr. Walker to handle any family law matter that presents itself. I would definitely hire him again and I tell my friends that need an attorney to contact Mr. Walker if they want to hire a trustworthy and capable attorney that cares about customer service.

    (5 star review)
    Sam went toe to toe with a 35 year veteran divorce attorney in my recent dissolution proceedings and won each seemingly impossible battle. He knows how to conduct himself when the other party is being unscrupulous and false. He is well researched, quick to respond, and always available. He will be very frank with you. These are highly stressful times and he maintains his cool, even when you might not. He was able to use several different technology platforms to share documents, such as Google drive making interactions effective and efficient. He was always patient and was always considering the legal implications of any tactic employed, to avoid sanctions and to maintain the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Sam!
