Fresno Family Law and Divorce Lawyer Family law matters are stressful. Uncertainty about what will happen to your children, home, and  standard of living is a significant concern for anyone considering divorce. At the Law Office of Michael N. Splivalo, in Fresno, California, we are committed to helping clear away much of the uncertainty associated with divorce and other family law matters. We have fourteen years of experience handling a wide range of family law matters including: - Divorce - A majority of family law matters stem from the dissolution of a marriage. We work closely with you to understand your situation and help develop a divorce agreement that is realistic and considers the needs of everyone involved.
- Child Custody and Visitation - There is one overriding issue in all child custody matters: What is in the best interests of the child. We work closely with you to understand the needs of your children, and then develop a strategy that protects his or her best interests. Some of the issues the court considers when determining child custody and visitation schedules include health, well being, education, safety, and lifestyle.
- Child Support - In almost all cases, the non-custodial parent will be required to pay child support to the custodial parent. The California courts have a formula to calculate child support. However, a number of exemptions can be applied to the payers' income. In addition, the parties can agree to any child support amount that meets the child's needs. We can help you with any child support matter and ensure the best interests of your child are protected.
- Property Division - Dividing the marital property is one of the most emotional and complex issues involved in a divorce. Since California is a community property state, marital property is typically divided evenly. However, determining the value of property can be very complicated. We regularly work with accountants (CPA's), appraisers, pension evaluators, and business evaluators to determine the value of marital assets.
In addition to divorce and custody disputes, we regularly deal with a variety of legal issues involving families. Some of the matters that we routinely handle include paternity, prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, civil unions, adoptions, stepparent adoptions, grandparents' rights, back child support/arrears, modification of child support, domestic violence, and restraining orders. Regardless of your family law needs, we provide compassionate and effective legal representation.
