Whether or not you have children or own real estate, it's always a good idea to secure quality legal representation when getting a divorce. California is a community property state, and this means that community property is assumed to be divided 50/50 between the spouses. If you do own real estate then you and your spouse will have to decide what to do with the house, and this is only the beginning. If you have children you and your spouse will be required to draw up a sound and workable parenting plan that will clearly define where the children will live and how holidays, vacations and special occasions such as birthdays will be divided. Child support, visitation and spousal support will need to be addressed as well.
If you are a victim of domestic violence or if your children are victims of child abuse, it may necessary to obtain a restraining order against your spouse. Depending upon the circumstances of your case, any presence of spousal or child abuse may have a definite impact on your divorce proceedings; therefore, it is critical that you seek professional legal help with this issue right away. If you are being wrongfully accused of domestic violence, it's important that you speak with an attorney as well. If your spouse has tried to get a restraining order against you under false pretenses, then it could ultimately put you in a very bad situation and you need a seasoned attorney to provide you with aggressive legal representation in the matter as the outcome can affect your child custody arrangement.

How does Taub & Taub, P.C. charge for its services?
Family law attorneys typically work on an hourly basis or, for certain matters, a flat-fee arrangement. During your consultation, we will discuss fee structures, retainer requirements, and billing practices so there are no surprises. We also accept payments through LawPay for your convenience. Our team works efficiently so that your case moves forward without unnecessary delay.
-
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Helpful documents include recent tax returns, pay stubs, bank and investment account statements, mortgage or lease documents, any existing court orders, and if children are involved, school and medical records that reflect the current parenting arrangement. The more context you can share, the more focused and useful your first meeting will be. If you cannot gather everything before we meet, we can work with what you have and identify what we will need going forward.
-
How do I know if I need a family law attorney or if I can resolve things without one?
The answer depends on what is at stake. If you and your spouse agree on everything, have no minor children, and your marital estate is straightforward, an uncontested process may be manageable with some guidance. But if there are children involved, significant assets, a business, or any disagreement about support or custody, the risk of not having legal representation increases substantially. Even well-intentioned agreements reached without counsel can have provisions that are unenforceable or that create problems years later.
-
Why should I hire a lawyer instead of handling my family law matter on my own?
Family law cases in California carry real legal and financial consequences that follow you long after the case closes. Decisions made during divorce, custody, or support proceedings are not easily undone. Our attorneys have over 40 years of combined experience handling these matters for clients throughout Woodland Hills, the San Fernando Valley, and the greater Los Angeles area.
