Family Law


Divorce doesn't have to be painful and complicated.

If you and your spouse can come to an agreement on how to divide your property and settle child-related issues, your divorce can be uncontested. This doesn't mean that you have no differences! Rather, it means that you and your spouse agree to work out the terms of separation on your own, without going to court. Uncontested divorces are smoother, simpler, and much less expensive.

If you and your spouse need help in coming to an agreement on the issues of your particular situation, we offer Mediation Services.

If you are already divorced and need to make Modifications to Child Support, Child Custody or Visitation, we can help you.

If you and your partner were never married but you would like a legal declaration of Paternity, Child Custody, Child Support and/or Visitation, we can take care of that too.

Our Services have been recognized by Nolo as one of the "Professionals who will help you do your own divorce." We are listed on their website and in the back of their book, "How To Do Your Own Divorce in California." If you would like to visit their website you may go to: www.nolotech.com.

HI,
Andy and I had decided to do our divorce ourselves. We thought we had it tackled until the courthouse returned all our paperwork saying that some legal language was missing. We had no clue what that meant so we turned to Ellie Tipton and Legal Assistance Center to go over the papers. Ellie was very pleasant with us and it took her only a few minutes to figure out what was missing. She took our paperwork and retyped everything, took care of returning the paper to the courthouse, and the burden was taken off our shoulders. In several weeks, we got our divorce judgment. We are very happy with how quickly with expertise Ellie handled our divorce. I will definitely go back to her and the Legal Assistance Center to draw up a Living Trust.

Thank you, Ellie!
