Legal Practice Areas

Child Custody and Support

Whenever minor children are involved,
who will be their primary caretaker?
Child support issues are always highly
sensitive topics, requiring an attorney with
compassion, knowledge and expertise.

Mediation/Collaborative

Intended to be two non-adversarial paths, the main difference is each party is required to have their own representation for a collaborative process, and thus can be very costly. For agreeable parties who just want minimal guidance and proper documents filed with the court, mediation may be the way to go. Again, we can customize and provide you with only what you need.

Prenuptial Agreements

Agreements entered into prior to the
date of marriage are prenuptial
agreements. These agreements are
beneficial for both parties – as they
remove the uncertainty of a separation
and protect valuable assets. California
allows for prenuptial agreements with
very specific requirements.

Stipulated Judgments and Modifications

California Family Law allows parties to enter into their own stipulated divorce judgments, as well as for post-judgment modifications but it is highly recommended the parties consult with an expert to review the terms and minimize the possibility of costly and inconvenient changes later.

Divorce / Summary Dissolution

The primary difference between divorce and
summary dissolution is length of marriage,
community assets and debts, and whether or
not there are minor children.

Community Property

Generally all property, whether real or
personal property, acquired during a
marriage is recognized as community
property including retirement accounts.
This is one of the main areas of Family law
which require a knowledgeable attorney.

Domestic
Partnership

A domestic partnership is a legal relationship, equivalent to marriage, extending the rights and benefits of marriage to heterosexual and same-sex couples. Domestic partnerships legally afford couples who choose not to marry the same rights, protections and benefits, including the same responsibilities, obligations and duties under law as married spouses. As domestic partnerships, like marriages, must be legally dissolved – an experienced lawyer will fight for your interests.

Criminal Defense

Next to her Family Law practice, Diana James, Esq. offers Criminal Defense representation – a vital extension of her work when Family Law and defense issues collide. This is often the case when there is domestic violence, allegations of child abuse and restraining orders.
