Orange County Spousal Support Attorney
At the law office of Elizabeth Jones, a Professional Corporation, I provide comprehensive family law representation. With 15 years of experience focused on pursuing creative resolutions to complicated matters, I can discuss your concerns and goals and tailor my representation to your needs.
"Finances are important, but not as important as the best interests of your children. I focus my 15 years of experience on pursuing out-of-court resolutions to divorce issues to help preserve family dynamics and the best interests of the children." - Attorney Jones
In California, the courts consider many factors when determining spousal support, which is also referred to as alimony. Judges are obligated to review the income of both parties and their education, employment, ability to work and any special needs.
The courts also rely on DISSOMASTER or X-Spouse to determine child support guidelines. As a dedicated Irvine child support attorney, I have extensive experience using both computer programs to give clients an idea of their situation.
Controlling Your Resolutions
As a dedicated divorce lawyer, I understand that you and your spouse can maintain control of the outcome of your issues through Mediation and Collaborative Law. Mediation enables both parties to make decisions, while Collaborative Law provides an environment for both Parties to negotiate with the support of a team of professionals, including their lawyers.
In both instances, you must understand what the law would dictate if you were taking your matters to court. You do not need to follow the letter of the law, as long as you knowingly and voluntarily agree to make creative decisions.
My California law practice concentrates on following a collaborative law approach to help clients focus on the best interests of their children and preserve family relationships. Additionally, I provide service as an attorney neutral mediator for individuals pursuing mediation.
