Since the time a divorce or legal separation was finalized and spousal support or alimony was ordered changes may have occurred in the financial situation of one person or the other. Promotions, pay cuts, job loss or a new job can change a person's financial needs and resources. If the changes are considerable, a modification can be requested of the court by the person making payments or by the person receiving spousal support.
Developing a parenting plan (custody and visitation) can be a stressful matter. Child custody and property division are two issues which are often contested in a divorce or legal separation action. Experience has shown that when couples work out a parenting plan by agreeing on what is best for the children and takes into account everyone's scheduled activities, it will prove more workable for both parents and children.
No matter how thorough you are in developing a child custody and visitation agreement that will work for everyone concerned, no one can see what changes the future will bring after a divorce or legal separation has been finalized. Sometimes an existing custody agreement should be modified to accommodate the changing needs of your child.
Child support is an issue which many parents face whether they have never been married, or are seeking a divorce or a legal separation where there are minor children. In the case of a couple which never married, it may be necessary for a paternity test to be done before the matter of child support can be addressed by the court.

Mrs. Garcia helped me finalize a divorce that had taken way too long to complete because I went with a well known paralegal franchise at the time who cashed my check for fees and cost of divorce but never filed my case and lost all the paperwork. What took the paralegal office two and a half years to get no where, Beatrice met with me quickly, filed my case and got me divorced quickly with no additional complications. I’m grateful for her help during a very stressful time.

If no stars we an option I would give that. This woman is horrible at her job, not recommended or favored by many others in her profession. After many repeated and unanswered calls in attempt to sign divorce papers (before the last and final day to file) did she finally call last min and same day to sign. She apperently files divorce papers wrong on purpose as a favor to a very bitter ex wife who doesn't want her ex husband to remarry. Her files have apperently been rejected because she (being a "lawyer") filed them wrong!!! Currently in the process of being sued. Stay away from this lady you will

STAY AWAY!...THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL "ATTORNEY" EVERR!!! I i have been trying to get in contact w this person since October of 2018 and not a single call back from her or her office regarding my child custody case. I had realized that something was wrong when i had gone to pick up my daughter for my planned schedule of the holidays and the mother did not show. So i call the mother to find out what was going on and she said that there was no finalized court order that she had to give her to me for the holidays. I then go to the courthouse thinking maybe i did something wrong but

Beatriz was not professional through her conduct between herself and my family. She basically was attempting to hand over the case to the other side by leveraging offers and suggestions that seemed to be entirely in favor of said opposite group, and seemed to not want to build a strong case for us by negotiating in any way for offers in our favor or even that were fair to both parties involved. She also mishandled finances in her favor and ended with her charging a large unreasonable deposit for us for hours she worked, even though she didn't seem to have worked on our case for the amount of hours

I don’t have a great deal of money so I decided to go to this office since they had said that there prices where low.. Mmmm yea nope. Went for a consolation they charge me $100 cash. And asking for a retainer of $5000 plus 350 hr. Way more then I had anticipated.... also there office is not even organized nor clean. I just don’t understand why people take advantage of others..

Your search is over! Great (AFFORDABLE/FLEXIBLE) Family law attorney!
Beatriz and her staff are professional, courteous, prompt and attentive.
They provide "top shelf" legal representation, with pricing that clearly serves the community.
Beatriz and her staff obviously have a large caseload; despite this fact, they were still able to give me the 1st rate attention and legal creativity I felt I deserved. They made me feel like I was their only client!
I had a lawyer for 3 years of my divorce, I changed because I was unhappy with many elements. I consulted and met with more than 10 "family law
