Protecting Your Rights in Divorce and Separation - Sonoma County

A marriage is many things to many people, but, in the eyes of the law, it is a contract that establishes shared responsibilities, rights and ownership between two people. Marriage involves a whole “bundle” of rights, many of which are not obvious to the average person. Absent a prenuptial agreement, separation or divorce requires an extensive negotiation or litigation process to resolve how those shared responsibilities and properties are divided.

That is a very clinical way of thinking about the emotionally charged and complex nature of divorce, but it is also an effective way to pursue your rights and protect your assets. I work closely with and create a comfortable personalized environment for my clients. I am also constantly focused on a professional level toward making your goals a reality in divorce and separation proceedings.
