The process of divorce is not an easy one. However, Christina Shaffer encourages her clients to seek to ease the process by first concentrating on the areas where you and your spouse may be able to agree before moving on to areas where you are at odds.


Contested child custody cases are by far the most difficult. At the same time, there are many parenting arrangements and plans from which parents can choose as long as they serve the children's best interests.


Deciding who gets what property is part of every divorce. Christina Shaffer can help you divide your marital assets and debts.


Usually, in custody cases, one parent is obligated to pay child support. The amount of child support is typically established by reference to Child Support Guidelines found in the California Family Code. The amount the court orders in child support is based on several factors including the parties respective incomes and their custodial time with the children.


Spousal support may be awarded to one party when there is a disparity of incomes and a necessity of support.  The amount of support and length of support depends on several factors including but not limited to the length of the marriage, the standard of living during marriage, and the parties respective incomes.
