The lawyers at the law firm of Patricia A. Hendrickson, operating out of Huntington Beach, California, practice Family Law in Orange County. We primarily represent clients in the communities of Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Newport Beach among others. Divorce issues are some of the most difficult and sensitive issues facing families today. You need caring and conscientious family law attorneys who will fight for and promote the best interests of you and your children—so that you and your family can move on with your lives. We handle the following family law issues:
Divorce
Divorce is the primary legal service that we provide. In addition to divorce, we also handle legal separations. We modify prior orders if you already have been divorced. We do complex and simple divorce cases, focusing on mediation and negotiation with the other party. However, we will litigate your case if negotiation is not possible. Child Custody and Visitation Rights
In an ideal world, both parents would settle custody issues reasonably. This is often not the case however. We handle all negotiations concerning child custody disputes as well as visitation rights between the two parents. In addition, we handle all matters relating to paternity issues. Spousal and Child Support
We are experienced with issues surrounding alimony and child support orders. We take under consideration your income as well as retirement plans, investments, and various other sources of income that can affect the amount of money available to pay spousal or child support. Registered Domestic Partnerships
We handle all family related issues pertaining to registered domestic partnerships including child custody, separation, drafting of agreements, adoptions, and other related issues. Restraining Orders
We handle all matters concerning domestic violence. We will assist in filing restraining orders against a spouse, former domestic partner, or former spouse to ensure you peace of mind. Modifications & Judgments
Sometimes, divorce actions do not stop once the final decree is entered. Post judgment enforcements & modifications are actions that take place after the divorce has occurred. Enforcement usually involves one party violating a prior court order with regard to child support, child custody, or visitation. Our firm will assist you in going before a judge to enforce orders already rendered, or modify provisions that have become unworkable. Almost any judgment or existing order can be modified to reflect changes that occur over time, such as income levels or changes in visitation. Adoptions
We concentrate on step parent adoptions, which frequently involve parental rights termination. Only rarely does the court permit a parental right termination when there is no pending step parent adoption, but it is possible. Call us for more information on this rarely discussed aspect of family law. If you have questions concerning any issues relating to family law, contact us today for a free consultation.
