Family Law FAQs
How long does divorce take in California?
There’s a minimum 6-month waiting period, but the timeline can vary depending on your situation.
At what age can a child choose which parent to live with?
California courts may consider a child’s preference at age 14 and older, but always base final decisions on the child’s best interests.
What does a family law consultation cost?
We charge a modest consultation fee for family law matters (credited if you retain us). Some cases may qualify for a free initial consultation.
