Family Law

• Divorce
  My approach to premarital agreements is colored by my fundamental belief that a good premarital agreement can create the foundation for a solid and happy marriage, as well as help to avoid the heartbreak and expense of a contested divorce if the marriage founders. Through thoughtful discussion with each other and careful drafting, premarital agreements—far from being “unromantic”—can help couples plan their financial future together cooperatively, balancing each person’s separate finances with the means by which to build a joint financial relationship that fosters a healthy marriage.
• Premarital Agreement
  The first meeting allows you to become acquainted with me, to learn about premarital agreements and California community property law generally, and to give you some initial ideas about the possible contents of an agreement in light of your individual circumstances. We ask you to fill out a confidential new client questionnaire (this can be emailed to you in advance) so that the consultation can be tailored to your individual circumstances. The questionnaire asks for general information, and you do not need to bring detailed information or documents to the first meeting.
