FAMILY LAW

Family Law with a Purpose: Protecting What Matters Most 

At Jones Trial Attorneys, we take a different approach to family law. We’ve seen how traditional family law litigation can drain bank accounts, damage relationships, and leave children caught in the crossfire. We reject the idea that family court should be a battlefield. Instead, we focus on solving problems, preserving dignity, and helping families rebuild from a place of strength. 

We understand that divorce, custody disputes, and co-parenting breakdowns are among the most painful and personal challenges a person can face. Our job is not to inflame those wounds—it’s to guide you forward with clarity, strategy, and compassion. 

Our Philosophy 

Most people come to family law attorneys because something in their life has broken down. Unfortunately, many lawyers see this as a business opportunity—encouraging hostility, prolonging litigation, and collecting fees while the parties and their children suffer. We actively reject this model. 

We’re here to deescalate conflict, cut through chaos, and create lasting resolutions that benefit you—and your children—long after the paperwork is signed. 

If your goal is to destroy your ex or win at all costs, we’re probably not the right firm. But if you’re looking for a team that treats your family with care, values your time and resources, and pursues solutions instead of scorched-earth strategies, we can help. 

Family Law Services We Offer 

We provide full-service representation in all areas of California family law, including: 

Divorce and Legal Separation 

Divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be destructive. Whether your case is amicable or high-conflict, we guide you through the process with a clear focus on your long-term goals and financial stability. We handle: 

• Uncontested and contested divorce 

• Legal separation and annulment 

• Drafting and enforcing marital settlement agreements 

• Default judgments and post-judgment modifications 

Child Custody and Visitation 

We believe the central question in every custody case should be: What arrangement best supports the child’s well-being? We advocate for custody plans that: 

• Support consistent and meaningful access to both parents 

• Minimize disruption to the child’s routine and emotional health 

• Encourage peaceful co-parenting and communication 

• Comply with California’s “best interest of the child” standard 

We work with both mothers and fathers to create custody frameworks that work—whether that means joint custody, step-down visitation schedules, or supervised time where appropriate. 

Child and Spousal Support 

Financial support orders should reflect the realities of each party’s income, expenses, and parenting time. We handle: 

• Child support calculation and enforcement 

• Spousal support (temporary and long-term) 

• Modification requests due to job changes or relocation 

• Enforcement of unpaid support orders 

We aim for fair, sustainable support agreements that meet your family’s needs without creating unnecessary hardship or resentment. 

Property Division and Asset Equalization 

California is a community property state, which means each spouse is generally entitled to half of the assets and debts acquired during the marriage. We handle: 

• Identification and valuation of marital vs. separate property 

• Division of real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and stock options 

• Negotiation of equalization payments 

• Hidden asset investigations and forensic accounting (when needed) 

Our goal is to ensure that your property division is fair, enforceable, and built to hold up in court—without dragging you through endless litigation. 

Premarital and Postnuptial Agreements 

An honest conversation about finances before marriage can prevent years of conflict down the road. We help couples: 

• Draft customized prenuptial and postnuptial agreements 

• Protect separate property and family inheritances 

• Clarify rights in the event of divorce or death 

• Strengthen transparency and trust before major life decisions 

Modifications and Enforcement 

Life changes—and your orders may need to change too. We represent clients in: 

• Custody or visitation modifications 

• Support increase or reduction requests 

• Enforcement of existing court orders 

• Contempt proceedings for noncompliance 

A Better Way to Move Forward 

We’ve helped countless clients step off the litigation treadmill after years of fighting—and find resolution, stability, and peace. In many cases, we’ve come in after years of hostility and helped parents reestablish a working co-parenting relationship, reduce attorney fees, and rebuild the foundation of a healthy post-separation family dynamic. 

Our starting point is always the same: What’s best for the children? What will restore stability? What’s worth fighting over—and what isn’t? 

We don’t just want to win your case. We want to help you rebuild your life.
