Kaplan when your family is experiencing changes such as marriage, divorce, child custody or other parenting issues in California. To discuss your legal needs with a skilled family lawyer in Alameda County, call my Oakland family law firm at 510-763-5611. As a sole-practitioner family law attorney in Alameda County, California, I am experienced and well-equipped to handle skillfully all areas of family law, including: - Divorce

- Marital settlement agreements
- Child and spousal support
- Mediation
- Collaborative law
Divorce : When couples divorce, the parties must reach agreements concerning spousal support, property division, child custody and child support, among other things. If such agreements cannot be reached, the court will decide these (and other) issues based on California law. I can advise you on how the California Family Code applies to your particular situation, file the required court forms, and help you negotiate necessary agreements to maintain your financial health and preserve important familial relationships. If necessary, I will represent your interests in court. Child custody: I am adept at helping divorcing spouses with children make child-centered decisions that meet the children's immediate and long-term needs. Children caught in the middle of a divorce should not be deprived of a relationship with one parent, or openly witness parents fighting. To lessen the animosity between the parties I encourage my clients to mediate their child custody arrangements whenever possible. If the parties cannot agree, I will strongly advocate for my client in court. Mediation/Collaborative Divorce : Through mediation and collaborative law, clients reach their own decisions with the assistance of a skilled family law attorney. In the end, all parties will be happier with agreements they themselves have crafted, rather than a decision imposed by a judge. I can serve either as a mediator or consulting attorney, and represent you in a collaborative divorce. I can serve as a mediator or a consulting attorney for mediation and I can act as your attorney and guide you through the collaborative process. I accept MasterCard and Visa. I welcome your phone call or email if you would like to inquire about whether I am the family lawyer best suited for your situation. Law Office of Marjory A. Kaplan
