Why Hire a Divorce Attorney in Orange County?
Having an attorney with experience in divorce law in Orange County to represent an individual is an
important part of the divorce process. A good attorney can be a source of comfort during a very
uncertain time. In California, a no-fault divorce means a marriage can end without fault on either
side. While this makes things simpler in some respects, other matters need to be evaluated by an
attorney.
Orange County divorce matters are heard in specialized courthouse settings, such as that of the
Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange. Every courthouse has its way of doing things regarding making
filings, time limits, and local rules. Orange County divorce attorneys familiar with these
courthouse settings understand where to go and how to make these filings.
An experienced divorce attorney will assist you in addressing important issues like child custody,
support, and property. Furthermore, your attorney will have local knowledge of how a case will
proceed and can walk you through each step of the way.

Types of Divorce Cases Our Orange County Lawyers Handle
Divorce can take a variety of forms. Our law firm represents clients in a variety of different family
circumstances.
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce takes place when both spouses require a court to settle a
disagreement over children, money, or other property. Such a case can include a series of hearings,
mediation,
and in-depth financial analysis. Our Orange County divorce lawyers assist in working with our clients
to put
forth a unified front in order to effectively address a case.
Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce enables couples to work together in resolving matters
and
present them to a judge. Such a situation leads to a simpler procedure. Our support for clients
involves
reviewing contracts, preparing documents necessary for divorce, and ensuring they adhere to California
law.
High Asset and High Net Worth Divorce
When it comes to divorce with a substantial amount of assets, it is important
to
focus on asset evaluation and financial planning. Real estate properties, investment accounts,
retirement
accounts, and business interests are some of the areas where our law firm can assist in asset
division, if
need be, with financial planners.
Legal Separation
Some couples prefer a separation rather than an immediate divorce. Legal
separation
gives spouses a chance to establish financial and child custodial agreements before separating
legally. Our
lawyers assist clients in understanding and creating agreements pertaining to a legal separation based
on
their preferences.
Divorce involving business ownership
Small business ownership can make a divorce case more complicated. Valuation,
income
analysis, and future strategic planning can all come into consideration. Our Orange County divorce
attorneys
assist in handling business concerns with sustained business continuity in mind.
Grey Divorce and Long-Term Marriages
Divorces involving older people can be concentrated on retirement, pension
plans, and
long-term assets. As a guideline to our clients, we assist them in addressing property division and
support
their focus on financial security and understanding.
Same Sex Divorce and Domestic Partnerships
California law affords distinct rights to same-sex couples in marriage and
registered
domestic partnerships. Our law firm advises and represents our clients in divorce and dissolution
matters in a
manner consistent with legal rights.
Important Issues in an Orange County Divorce
Divorce can be complicated by a variety of core issues. Being educated in these matters will make it simpler
for
you to make decisions in your case.
Child Custody & Visitation
Custody of a child relates to both legal custody and physical custody. Legal
custody
regards making decisions concerning the health, education, and welfare of a child. Meanwhile, other
decisions
include residence and access in matters of children. Our law firm focuses on child-centered solutions.
Child Support
Calculations of child support are based on California guidelines. Our attorneys can
help you better understand child support calculations and help you complete accurate financial disclosures
to
achieve a fair outcome.
Spousal Support
Spousal support can be given on a short-term or permanent basis based on how long
the
couple has been married. Our Orange County divorce lawyers can assist you in learning more about support and
ensuring you have a fair support order.
Division of Property and Debts
California practices community property law. A split in all assets and debts
attained
during marriage is usually fifty/fifty. Division of assets can include realty such as homes, retirement
accounts, investments, cars, and personal effects. Handling your assets can be a very organized and diligent
step with our assistance.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
In situations where safety is an issue, protective orders can be issued by the
court.
Our law firm is handling clients in such cases with caution in order to pursue their rights appropriately.
Changes in Custody and Visitation Rights
Circumstances in life can change after a divorce. Support or custody agreements can
be revised if necessary. Our law firm serves clients in post-judgment matters to make sure agreements are
workable and function successfully.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group
of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result.
Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and
the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the
amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't
live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in
California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I
put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite
the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James
was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process
everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for
putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not
enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely
recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having
achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

Jos Family Law has been absolutely fantastic in
helping me through my child custody case. Mr Jos communicated with me throughout the entire
process. He was very empathetic and understanding with my case and my concerns. The team was
always supportive and never once did I feel like they didn’t take my case seriously. I’m so
grateful I chose this law firm to represent me and I would 100% recommend this team to
anyone seeking assistance. In the end I received the outcome I was looking for which was
Sole Physical Custody. Thank you so much Jos Family for representing me.

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed
custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS
Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also
extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well.
There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy
takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how
collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss
their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for
their clients.
Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have
worked together on my case.
James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able
to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody
remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the
best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that
the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James
is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family
law matter to call Jos Family Law!
