Irvine, California, Divorce Lawyer
For over a decade, attorney Judith Williams has been providing clients with representation and guidance for their family law matters out of court. She no longer litigates cases in court, but utilizes mediation and collaborative law for handling family law matters. Her practice is focused on resolving conflicts peacefully, allowing clients to get on with their lives as soon as possible.

Divorce and Related Issues
The divorce process involves a number of different issues. How the martial property will be divided is frequently contentious. If the couple has children, child custody and visitation can prove difficult. Ms. Williams provides experienced counsel for the issues within a divorce, including:

Property Division: Property and assets are distributed according to the community property laws of the state of California. Some of the assets that may be divided include homes, personal property, retirement accounts (401Ks), pensions, real estate and stock options.

Spousal Support (Alimony): Also called alimony, spousal support is not awarded in every divorce case. Support is determined by a number of factors, such as length of the marriage, the age of the parties, income levels, support during the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and others.

Child Support: In all cases that involve children, child support will need to be calculated. The California child support guidelines are based on monthly income and the time the child spends with each parent. All sources of income are factored into the child support calculation.

Child Custody: It is important to keep the best interests of the children in mind when determining the appropriate type of child custody arrangement. Through a cooperative process, parents can arrange custody to suit their schedules, as well as consider what the child wants as well.

Ms. Williams also handles post-judgment modification, stepparent adoption and a range of other family law matters.
