Woodland Hills Family Law Attorney
What Is Family Law?
Family law is a specific legal area that concerns any family or domestic relationship matters. This can include a number of issues related to marriage and domestic partnerships. A large part of family law deals with divorce, or the legal termination of marriage. In many cases, divorce also entails additional legal matters, including child support, child custody, visitation, spousal support, and property distribution. As family law is a distinct and highly technical legal field, these procedures often require the assistance of experienced attorneys. At Taub & Taub, P.C., our attorneys each have 20 years of legal experience during which we have accumulated and honed the specialized skills needed to resolve family law cases.
In addition to handling divorce proceedings and all the inherent issues, our firm also represents husbands, wives, parents, and other litigants in a variety of other types of family law cases, including paternity, adoptions, protection orders, and contractual agreements.
Call us at (818) 938-2007 for a consultation and more information on family law.

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.
