Property Division and Spousal Support
Many divorces in Del Mar involve high-value real estate, luxury vacation homes, and substantial financial portfolios. Property division in these cases can be complex, often needing detailed asset valuation, tax considerations, and careful negotiation to deliver equitable outcomes. Beyond homes and investments, some families have business interests, trusts, or retirement accounts that need to be thoughtfully addressed to protect long-term financial stability.
Spousal support is another critical factor. Courts consider income disparities, the duration of marriage, and the standard of living during the relationship. In affluent communities like Del Mar, these determinations may involve more nuanced calculations, including lifestyle maintenance and complex financial arrangements. Our attorneys help clients navigate these decisions strategically, advocating for fair outcomes while preserving privacy and discretion.
Child custody and support also carry unique challenges. Parents may have to manage school schedules and extracurricular commitments. Coordinating parenting time around busy professional lives while maintaining stability for children usually requires a customized approach. We assist families in developing parenting plans that comply with California law, meet their children’s needs, and accommodate parental lifestyles.
By combining decades of experience with an understanding of Del Mar’s unique community and financial landscape, we provide effective, confidential advocacy that protects both clients and their families. Whether negotiating settlements or litigating complex matters, you can count on guidance that is both legally precise and practically effective.
