If you require representation on a custody matter, marital dissolution, property division, a prenuptial agreement or another vital family law matter, BMKA is equipped to provide you with the experienced and skilled representation you require.

- Divorce

The outcome of a divorce can have a profound impact on your financial security and parental rights. With so much at stake, it is essential that you have an experienced divorce attorney who is committed to protecting your rights and seeking a favorable outcome on your behalf.


- Child Custody

Nothing is more important to a parent than his or her child. If you are involved in a divorce or family law proceeding in which your parental rights are at stake, contact an experienced family law attorney at Bohm, Matsen, Kegel & Aguilera.


- Modification

After a divorce, circumstances may change that make an existing order seem unjust. If you feel that your rights are unfairly constrained by an existing court order, contact an experienced family law attorney who can advise you of your rights.


- Paternity

Bohm, Matsen, Kegel & Aguilera has successfully assisted mothers and fathers seeking to establish their rights in paternity proceedings. If you have had a child and were not married at the time of the child's birth, it is essential that you consult with an experienced family law attorney who can advise you of your rights.


- Child Support

One important step in any child support matter is to perform a calculation of support using the California child support guidelines. The guideline calculation takes into account the income of both parents and the amount of court ordered parenting time that each parent has with the children.


- Property Division

Property division is one of the most important and often contentious aspects of divorce. An experienced divorce lawyer can help you understand your rights and ensure that your right to an equitable division of marital assets is protected.


- Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into by individuals prior to marriage that may significantly affect their rights in the event of a divorce. California courts may uphold prenuptial agreements that are properly created and executed. However, California courts have on many occasions chosen not to enforce prenuptial agreements due to lack of full financial disclosure and other defects in the creation, review or execution of an agreement.


- Same-Sex Divorce

Many same-sex couples in California require necessary legal services. In some cases, legal representation may be required for a divorce.

While certain tax issues require specific attention in a same-sex dissolution, most issues in a same-sex divorce are the same as in any other divorce. Property must be divided. Responsibility for debts must be assigned. If the couple has a child by adoption or artificial insemination, child custody and visitation must be addressed.


- Alimony

California's spousal support laws are complex and ever-changing. If you are involved in a divorce or legal separation in California and you anticipate that you or your spouse may seek a spousal support award, it is critical that you have highly qualified legal counsel.


- Domestic Violence

Domestic violence includes acts of violence, threats of violence, emotional abuse, stalking and other abusive, harassing or intimidating behavior. Domestic violence may include an attack against a spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, domestic partner, child or sibling.
