Divorce - We are at your side throughout the entire process. From the initial filing to negotiating child support amounts and custody arrangements, you can count on us to serve as your most aggressive advocates.
Custody & Visitation - At the law office of A. Stephen Rocha, Esq., we focus on both short-term and long-term concerning time spent with your children. We secure orders for temporary custody and focus on the best interests of all parties in a permanent agreement.
Child Support - The process of determining child support is based on a formula that combines income, expenses and time spent with the children. Disputes often occur in how we get to that amount. You need an attorney experienced in determining child support.
Spousal Support - The formula for spousal support is based on standards that are more subjective. Duration of the marriage, income and expenses all play a part in determining the final amount. We ensure that our clients are paying based on the formula or receiving what they deserve.
Division of Property - As a community property state, almost anything acquired during a marriage in California is deemed community property. We bring experience, knowledge and attention to detail in this complex aspect of your divorce.
Mediation - Avoiding litigation can bring a more peaceful and cooperative resolution to your divorce. It also shields the children from contentious courtroom scenes and can promote positive relationships in the future.
Prenuptial Agreements - By creating a prenuptial agreement, you are proactively protecting your assets and those of your children. We can also help you determine how property secured during the marriage is characterized.
Appeals - If the law was misapplied in the finalization of your divorce decree, we can help you revisit that issue through the appeals process. Our clients benefit from our extensive experience at the appellate court level.
Paternity - Proving paternity can provide a father the opportunity to spend time with his child. A DNA test can provide a mother with much-needed financial support. Let our firm represent you in a paternity action.
