Over the course of almost 20 years as a practicing family attorney, I have developed a sophisticated understanding of how to work seamlessly with valuation experts to value and divide complicated asset valuation issues.
If, for example, your divorce will require the valuation of your interest in the family business or retirement plans, or the valuation of a professional practice (e.g., a law practice, medical practice or dental practice), I am able to quickly identify points of contention and strategically partner with reputable forensic accountants and other experts to get the matter resolved.As a certified family law specialist State Bar CA, Bd.

In my experience as a divorce lawyer in Southern California, no issue in a divorce is more stressful or emotional than child custody. If you are facing a divorce and have minor children, you should know that the legal system encourages both parents to maintain frequent contact with their children and to share the responsibility for raising them.
The good news about computing California child support is that it is not as complicated as it might seem. The Judicial Council has approved the use of child support calculation software such as Dissomaster. The California child support guideline takes into account the relative incomes of the parties and timeshare each parent has with the child(ren).
Since spousal support is subject to considerable discretion by the court, it is imperative that you have a family lawyer by your side to ensure a fair award. An award is not mandatory in dissolution or legal separation proceedings in California.
The courts have discretion, within the statutory parameters, to deny spousal support altogether or to limit it in an amount and duration that reflects the ability of both parties to provide for their own needs.In approaching the weighing process, the courts will take various factors into consideration.

Have you wondered about the differences between separation and divorce? Zonder Family Law discusses important points about legal separation to help you make an informed decision about your own marriage. A legal separation is not a divorce. It does not end the marriage, and neither spouse can marry a different person until a divorce judgment has been entered by the court.

Although I am not enthusiastic about the circumstances of our interaction I would have to say that working with Lisa Zonder and her team was amazing. They were responsive, professional, and worked diligently on my behalf to achieve the best outcome. I would recommend them without reservation for anyone attempting a collaborative divorce process.

I can honestly say that facing divorce was one of the most daunting, devastating, and heartbreaking circumstances I've faced thus far in life.
I was so grateful to Lisa Zonder, and her team.
Throughout the process, the team was kind, compassionate, and attentive.
In any situation––where comprise is involved––I didn't "walk away" with everything I hoped for; however, thanks to Zonder Family Law, I was able to settle without being liable for some very heavy burdens. I attribute that to the expertise of this team.
Thank you all, for helping me through a dark period in my life. I'm starting

After researching the credentials and experience of local firms, Zonder Family Law was clearly at the top, and I can verify that their excellent reputation is well-earned. My case was unusual, and the Zonder Family Law firm tackled it head on. Pamela Bille took the time to inform me of each step along the way, to explain every detail, every option, and answer all my concerns in such a respectful and timely manner.

Lisa Zonder and Matt Jewett helped navigate my children and I through a difficult divorce. Their steady hands guided me through some of the most wrenching decisions I have ever had to make, mitigating conflict and avoiding court. One of the reasons we were successful is that I listened to and trusted their counsel which was sound every step of the way. In addition to her staff, Lisa's associated experts and specialists brought additional depth to our experience. I would recommend Lisa Zonder and her team to anyone seeking experienced, calm guidance through a marital dissolution or any family law
