At Valdespino & Associates we keep up to date with all the latest developments in the law and how they could impact our clients. Here are just a few of the areas in which we specialize.

Child custody

Our attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating agreements that are in the best interests of the children. We identify areas between parents that might become contentious as well as client goals and help reach agreements regarding custody, visitation and support, preferably out of court.

Child support

Child support can often become a power play between parents when it should be about what is best for the children and their needs. The cool heads and expertise of Valdespino & Associates can ensure that disputes are resolved sensitively while respecting parental rights and ensuring that parent-child relationships and visitation agreements are not negatively impacted.

Alimony

Local laws ensure that an ex partner has the right to be supported by their spouse after the marriage has broken down. How much alimony is paid depends on many factors and Valdespino & Associates will help you reach a fair settlement and that your rights are upheld swiftly and smoothly.

Mediation

Divorce can be an emotionally draining experience, and if cases end up in court, a costly one too. Sometimes mediation can get you through the process in a faster and more cost effective way. Valdespino & Associates can act as neutral mediators to help negotiate a settlement between you and your partner during a divorce.
