Family Law

Certified Specialist – Family Law
State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization

Family law, in general, deals with any matter involving legal relationships between family members that are either created or recognized by state or federal law. While some may view this as an interference by the legal system, it helps to create fair, equitable, and enduring resolutions to highly emotional conflicts. A skilled family law attorney can help you ensure that even drastic changes in your relationships with family members will not result in financial hardship or legal entanglements. The staff at The Anthony C. Starks Law Firm has dedicated themselves to providing premiere service in family law; for more than two decades, we have been untangling complex networks of insurance, estate plans, business arrangements, and other legal issues that can affect close personal relationships.

While divorce is the most recognized aspect of family law, a marriage dissolution can also involve disputes over the division of property, child support and custody, spousal support or alimony, visitation rights, and many other legal issues surrounding the dissolution itself. Even after a divorce is made final, it may be necessary to ask the court to modify a decree concerning support, property distribution, or visitation rights.

In addition, family law covers many other legal arrangements that affect how family is defined. A truly comprehensive family law practice, like the one we provide at The Anthony C. Starks Law Firm, will also be able to help clients create pre-nuptial and ante-nuptial agreements, carry out legal separations, and litigate paternity. Other major areas of our family law practice cover palimony, adoption, domestic violence, guardianships and conservatorships, and legal obligations within unmarried couples.

Our legal staff at The Anthony C. Starks Law Firm can help ensure that your family law needs are met while protecting the value of your family’s home and real property.
