Riverside Family Law Settlement & Negotiation Lawyers

We guide clients toward favorable settlements in a wide range of disputes, such as: 

• Divorce and separation. We guide clients through separation and divorce without the hostility of a public trial.
• Child custody and visitation. We facilitate workable parenting plans that prioritize your child’s well-being without exposing them to courtroom drama.
• Property division. We work with financial experts to value assets, negotiate a fair division, and codify it in a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA). 
• Spousal support. We negotiate the duration and amount of spousal support without the need for a judge’s decision. 
• Child support. We can calculate child support and negotiate agreements for extra expenses like private school tuition or extracurricular activities.

Settlement Negotiation vs. Mediation: What’s the Difference?

A common point of confusion is the difference between hiring a mediator and a settlement negotiation lawyer. A mediator is a neutral third party who cannot provide legal advice, so they can’t tell you if a proposed deal is in your best interests. Instead, their primary objective is to get both sides to sign an agreement.

If you and your spouse decide to use a private mediator to facilitate your divorce, our attorneys are ready to act as your independent counsel. We can prepare you for your mediation sessions, review any offers before you sign them, and diligently protect your individual interests so you never unknowingly compromise your rights.

As your dedicated legal advocates, our only loyalty is to you. Whether we are advising you during court-ordered child custody mediation or working through informal settlement discussions, we can explain the long-term impacts of proposed settlements and actively advocate on your behalf to guide you toward informed decision-making.

Fearless Advocates When Litigation Becomes Necessary

A settlement-forward approach doesn’t mean accepting an unfair deal just to keep the peace. Successful negotiations require the opposing party to act reasonably and in good faith. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the reality. 

If an ex-spouse attempts to hide assets, refuses to compromise, or violates temporary orders, we won’t hesitate to shift our strategy. Our attorneys are formidable litigators who are fully prepared to pivot and litigate the matter in court if needed.
