Family Law is the area of law that deals with family relationships. In addition to important financial planning, such as drafting and negotiating a prenup, our offices handle the dissolution of marriages. Few things in life are as stressful as fighting over custody and visitation; and child support.
Collaborative divorce is a transparent divorce where both parties hire attorneys specially trained to handle divorce without going to Court. At the heart of collaborative divorce is resolution. Each party is represented by lawyers. These lawyers have specialized training in resolving family law conflicts.
If you are unsure that you want a prenup, we recommend you schedule a one-hour consultation with our attorney to learn how California family law (California's default prenup) applies to you before you get married. 2. I am getting married. I want to explore the possibility of getting a prenup, but I don't want to insult my future spouse.
In a divorce with children, the biggest challenge is how to minimize the negative effects on your children. We encourage both parties to be reasonable. Take a step back from your own personal emotions. Seek counseling if necessary. Work together, not separately, at developing a working parenting plan for your children.
Generally, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent to contribute to the cost of upbringing of the children. The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child resides the majority of the time. If the child resides an equal amount of time with each parent, the parent with the lower income may still be entitled to child support.

Prenup drafts were sloppy, had several typos like misspelling our names. I felt like I had to comb through and list out all the typos and on which pages for them to fix. Didn’t rename the final executed prenup as “final_signed” which would have been helpful. It just felt like everything was more difficult than it needed to be. But in the end, it got done eventually.

If you want a compassionate, highly professional family law attorney who is real, understanding, willing to advocate for you, and has the requisite skills to help you, then Kelly is the one for you! Look no further than her e-mail address, which has "purpose driven lawyers," in it. She is purpose driven and it shows! My experience with her is limited to recommending her to all my friends who need family law help. I would hire her in a heartbeat if I ever need a family lawyer because I know her on a personal and professional level and she is amazing!

What spoke to me the most about Kelly was her genuine kindness and professionalism. I interviewed a few attorneys and I didn’t feel the peace, I felt with Kelly. She communicated so well with me. Kelly takes the time to cover anything you have questions or concerns about. She was always readily available when I needed to communicate with her. She truly made my divorce a smooth experience. Thankful to Kelly and her team for caring so much.
Gratefully, V.V.

Kelly is wonderful. I had some custody/traveling issues recently and I came to her for help and she did amazing. She listened and showed genuine care for my situation. I recommend Kelly to anyone and everyone. She is informative, knows the law, but most importantly cares for her clients and that right there says everything. Thank you Kelly!

I highly recommend Kelly Chang to anyone needing a family law attorney. She is very experienced and this was evident in all my dealings with her. She writes complex contracts in concise english that is intelligible to someone with no legal training like myself. She is quick to respond, even outside normal office hours when needed, and happy to pick up the phone and talk in person. She is sympathetic and provides wise advice when needed. I would happily recommend her to anyone.

I went through a long, very troublesome divorce this year that took a huge toll on me and my kids. Initially, I had another planned to be with another attorney with low rates, however the office would never get back to me which set me back a lot.
I found Kelly through her great reviews and a recommendation by an acquaintance. When I called the office, her assistants were very helpful in answering my questions fast and whenever I leave a voicemail, I'm always contacted back in under an hour. Working with Kelly has been great for many reasons, but mainly her commitment to my case, her timeliness

You wrote a review for Law Offices of Kelly Chang One minute ago 5.0 star rating 11/11/2015 Words cannot describe how incredible Kelly was throughout this whole process. She was extremely professional,… organized, and accurate in her information. But more importantly to me was her kind manner, her understanding of what I was going through, and her ability to make me feel comfortable throughout a process that I was clueless about. She took care of everything...just as she said. And when the divorce was finalized, she let me know immediately. I cannot thank her enough.
