At Moradi Neufer, we understand the stress these challenges can bring, and we’re here to provide the support and legal guidance you need every step of the way. Our experienced family law attorneys are dedicated to offering personalized services to ensure your interests are protected throughout the process. If you’re facing a family law matter in Los Angeles, it’s important to have an attorney who can guide you with the right legal advice and support. Here’s a look at the family law services we offer:
Going through a divorce is one of the most emotionally challenging experiences, and we understand how important it is to have a trusted legal team by your side. Whether you’re facing a high-net-worth divorce or a simpler, uncontested one, the divorce attorneys at Moradi Neufer are here to guide you through every step. Our goal is to ensure the best possible distribution of assets and responsibilities while protecting your financial future. We also work to ensure any spousal support agreements are balanced and in your best interest, so you can move forward with confidence.
Alimony, or spousal support, is often a key part of divorce proceedings, and we know how important it is to have a fair arrangement. The amount and duration of spousal support depend on various factors like the length of the marriage, your financial needs, and your standard of living during the marriage. Our experienced attorneys will work closely with you to make sure that any spousal support agreements are reasonable, legally sound, and tailored to your needs and circumstances.
Child custody matters can be among the hardest and most emotional aspects of divorce. At Moradi Neufer, we are dedicated to protecting your parental rights while keeping the well-being of your children at the heart of every decision. Whether you’re seeking primary custody, joint custody, or need help arranging a visitation schedule, our compassionate family law attorneys are here to provide the legal support and guidance you need during this difficult time.
In California, assets and debts accumulated during a marriage are generally divided equally, but the process can become complex, especially when valuable assets like businesses, retirement savings, or real estate are involved. Our experienced attorneys are skilled in navigating complicated asset divisions, and we are committed to helping you reach a proper resolution. We also provide clear guidance on how to handle debts and liabilities, ensuring that you fully understand your responsibilities throughout the divorce process.
Child support is a vital financial contribution both parents are required to make to cover their child’s living expenses until they reach adulthood. The amount of support is determined by a detailed calculation that considers both parents’ incomes, the time each parent spends with the child, and any available tax deductions. This formula is used in divorce, separation, paternity, and domestic partnership cases to ensure fairness and consistency. At Moradi Neufer, our child support lawyers will carefully analyze your financial situation to help you achieve a reasonable child support agreement.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are valuable tools for couples to ensure they are on the same page about important financial and personal matters. A prenuptial agreement helps couples discuss and align on key topics before marriage, such as finances, homeownership, or caregiving responsibilities. Postnuptial agreements offer similar benefits but are created after the marriage or domestic partnership begins. At Moradi Neufer, our experienced attorneys guide couples in creating agreements that protect assets, outline property division, and clarify financial responsibilities.
Divorce is a significant decision, and it’s important to approach it when you feel emotionally and financially prepared. Before filing for divorce, consider these steps to help you move forward with confidence:
Take time to reflect on your reasons for divorce and your future goals. Understanding your motivations and what you hope to achieve will provide clarity and help guide your decisions during this difficult time.
Divorce can have a major financial impact, so it’s essential to gather detailed information about your assets, debts, income, and expenses. This will help you understand how the divorce may affect your finances and empower you to make informed decisions.
Understanding California’s divorce laws is key to navigating the process. From community property rules to spousal support guidelines, knowing how these laws affect your case will help you make informed choices. An experienced Los Angeles divorce attorney can provide the guidance you need to navigate these complexities.
Going through a divorce can be emotionally draining, so seeking support from trusted friends, family, or a therapist is important for your emotional well-being. You may also benefit from talking with a mediator or neutral advisor to explore your options and find solutions that work for you.
Divorce doesn’t always have to lead to a long, stressful, and expensive legal battle. There are several approaches that can help reduce both the emotional and financial strain:
In a negotiated divorce, both partners work together, with their lawyers’ help, to agree on important matters like property division, spousal support, and child custody. This option is often quicker, more affordable, and allows for a more personalized outcome compared to litigation.
Divorce mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps both spouses reach an agreement. This approach allows couples to maintain control over the terms of their divorce without the stress and conflict of courtroom proceedings. Your attorney can still be involved to ensure your rights are protected.
In a collaborative divorce, both spouses work with a team of professionals, including family law attorneys, financial advisors, and mental health specialists, to resolve issues out of court. This method fosters open communication and is ideal for couples who want to avoid lengthy legal battles and focus on mutual respect.
Sometimes, divorce litigation is unavoidable, especially if there are complex legal issues or one party is unwilling to cooperate. Litigation means taking your case to court, where a judge makes decisions on matters like child custody, spousal support, and property division. Although it’s often more costly and time-consuming, litigation may be necessary in certain situations.

If you’re considering divorce, you likely have many questions. It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about the process, and understanding what to expect can help you make informed decisions. Here are some of the most common inquiries:
Do I need a specific reason to file for divorce?
No, California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove that one party is at fault. “Irreconcilable differences” is sufficient grounds for filing, and it’s a common reason for many divorces in the state.
How long does the divorce process take?
The timeline varies based on the complexity of your case. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on major issues, might take as little as six months. However, contested divorces, particularly those involving child custody, division of assets, or spousal support, can take much longer.
Can I afford a divorce?
The cost of divorce depends on several factors, such as whether it’s contested or uncontested, the complexity of asset division, and attorney fees. It’s wise to plan ahead and get advice from both a lawyer and a financial expert to better understand the potential costs and create a plan for managing them.
What happens if we can’t agree on everything?
If you and your spouse can’t reach an agreement on key issues, you may need to go through divorce mediation or litigation. During mediation, a neutral third party will help guide discussions, but if that doesn’t work, a judge will make final decisions on matters like child custody, spousal support, and property division.
What steps can I take to protect my financial interests during a divorce?
To protect your financial interests, gather records of all assets, debts, and income. Work with a financial advisor to understand how property division might impact your future, and track any separate property (like gifts or inheritances). Consult with your attorney about temporary spousal support if needed.
How will our assets and debts be divided in California’s community property system?
California follows community property law, meaning assets and debts acquired during the marriage are typically split 50/50. Separate property, like gifts or inheritances, isn’t subject to division. Full financial disclosure is essential to ensure a fair division.
How can we ensure the best possible arrangement for our children in terms of custody and visitation?
The court focuses on the child’s best interests when determining custody. Joint custody is preferred, but if one parent has primary custody, the other will generally get visitation. Maintaining respectful communication with your co-parent and considering mediation can help create a positive arrangement.
Divorce is a significant life change, and it’s important to have the right legal support to guide you through it.
