Di Maria & Cone has been serving clients in Palo Alto and the San Francisco Bay Area since 1946. Whatever unique family law needs you may have, we will advocate for you during all stages of your case. Many parents are naturally concerned about the effect of the recent Shelter in Place orders in the San Francisco Bay Area counties on visitation exchanges required by their custody orders.
One thing we know for sure is that they remain in place. Here's some guidance we can offer. If you are not happy in your marriage and considering divorce, we can help you understand your rights and guide you through the process. If you are planning to marry and want to establish the spouse's property, support and other rights during marriage we can help prepare a prenuptial agreement.

The firm's founder, Philip A. Di Maria, became an attorney in California in 1939. When World War II started, Mr. Di Maria entered the army and landed on Normandy beach carrying a copy of the California Civil Code. He started the firm that is now Di Maria & Cone after he returned from World War II. His daughter, Anne Di Maria Cone, joined the firm in 1979 when she became an attorney.
At Di Maria & Cone, our practice is exclusively devoted to family law. In addition to representing people in divorce proceedings, we also represent people who are planning to marry and want a premarital agreement, people who are married and want a post-marital agreement and unmarried parents concerning custody issues.
A premarital agreement (also known as a prenuptial agreement) is an agreement entered into by parties who plan to marry specifying the rules governing property and support issues after marriage. Protect each spouse's separate property from becoming community property of both spouses under California law, absent an express subsequent agreement to do so.
A battle over child custody and visitation is often the most difficult and emotionally trying part of a divorce or other legal proceeding. In addition to divorce and legal separation proceedings, child custody and visitation issues may arise in parentage or guardianship proceedings. Whether our clients are married or or unmarried, child custody and visitation rights can be contentious and have serious impact on both parents and children.
It often happens that community and separate property are mixed together either deliberately or mistakenly, in which case characterization can become complex. A spouse deliberately or mistakenly mixes community and separate funds or property in a bank or brokerage account. The parties agree in writing to change the character of property from separate to community or vice-versa (a "transmutation agreement").
