or property rights after a divorce. At the Law Office of Marjory A. Kaplan, I represent clients exclusively in family law and divorce matters in California. I understand that every issue in your divorce is an important issue to everyone involved. With over 25 years of experience in family law, I can help you and your family through the divorce process. At the Law Office of Marjory A. Kaplan, you'll know that we are taking care of your needs. To discuss your situation with a skilled divorce lawyer, call my Alameda County family law firm at 510-763-5611.

Divorce involves serious financial and emotional issues. I advise clients how California divorce laws apply to their particular situation and how to obtain a fair, practical resolution to family disputes. I strongly believe in methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), such as mediation or collaborative law. Using these methods, my clients are capable of maintaining control over the outcome of their case, while also minimizing the emotional impact on the entire family.

I am experienced handling all legal issues that arise in divorce, such as:

  • Child custody and visitation/parenting time: As an experienced divorce lawyer, I am comfortable handling the psychological aspects of child custody and visitation disputes. I work with clients to achieve a fair child custody agreement and visitation/parenting time schedule that is in the child's best interests and preserves my client's parental rights. I am also experienced handling heavily contested child custody disputes in California.
  • Property division: Under California community property laws, all community property (marital property) is to be divided equally in divorce. I work with clients to assess and allocate all assets and debts fairly. I am experienced handling marital asset division involving real estate, vehicles, stocks, retirement funds, business interests and other complex asset division.
  • Child and spousal support: Children should not sacrifice the level of comfort of living because their parents divorce. I work with clients to establish child support payments according to California's child support guidelines. Spousal support is intended to ease the financial transition between marital life and life after divorce. Spousal support can enable an individual to re-enter to workforce and become self-supporting. I work with clients to establish spousal support (alimony) according to California laws.

If you are interested in discussing your rights or the specifics of your divorce case, contact me to schedule a consultation.
