Family Law & Divorce

Riverside Divorce Attorney

Families in the middle of splitting up often need special care and consideration. We gladly give such individual and personal attention to our divorcing and separating clients. We represent husbands and wives, unmarried couples with children, living together or not, and same-sex couples through the often-traumatic process of divorce or separation. If you are considering separation, or your spouse or partner has already made the decision to end your relationship, contact our experienced Riverside, California, family law attorneys at Clark Law Office, Inc.

Divorce and Community Property

Since California is a so-called community property state, marital property division issues involving separate property and individual property questions can be complicated and troublesome. In cases involving complex community property questions, we are able to separate the divorce issue from the property division issues (bifurcate). This allows the divorce to go forward after the initial waiting period and gives the parties time to sort out the division of property issues without waiting months or years for a divorce hearing.

Divorce Planning

Our firm assists parties with divorce and marriage planning. We draft the documents to establish:

• premarital (pre-nuptial) agreements
• post marital agreements and postnuptial agreements
