Our clients facing divorce can count on both a solid work ethic and caring and compassionate representation from the divorce attorneys at Jarvis & Krieger, with offices in Long Beach, Anaheim, Newport Beach CA, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The divorce process is an emotional experience for most of our clients, and we provide steady and uncompromising legal counsel through its entirety.

Whether you are serving divorce papers or have been served with the dissolution of marriage documents, the divorce attorneys at Jarvis & Krieger will immediately get to work on your divorce case. Most judges in the state of California require mediation for couples seeking to divorce. At our firm, we almost universally recommend it. Mediation is a cost-saving way of resolving outstanding issues in a cooperative and communicative environment. Virtually all issues, no matter how difficult, are up for discussion in the discrete and private setting that mediation provides.

Mediation can be especially effective in matters relating to child custody, child support, and spousal support. The best interests of the children are the focus of the courts and the lawyers at our firm. We hope that is your focus as well. While child and spousal support involve strict formulas, the calculations can often be reasonably disputed based on the true value of assets and debts.

Disputes over physical and legal custody and visitation that are litigated in court can be potentially harmful to the relationship you enjoy with your children. A great benefit of mediation is the opportunity it provides to control your own destiny and keep the decision-making between you and your spouse, not in the hands of a judge. However, we will ready ourselves to litigate your matter in court if that provides the best outcome.

Our divorce attorneys have also helped clients with post-judgment issues stemming from a change in situation, misrepresentation from one of the spouses, or a judge's error in the initial divorce decision. At our firm, we ensure that our clients' rights are protected during the proceeding and following any final ruling.
