- Grandparents Visitaion Rights

If you are the grandparent, do you have visitation rights following a divorce? A lot depends upon the relationship you have built with your grandchild. The truth is, if your adult son or daughter isn't the child's primary custodial parent and the custodial parent objects to contact with you, getting visitation rights as the kid's grandparents will be tough. If you can show, however, that losing contact will be detrimental to the child's emotional or physical welfare, you may be granted a specific parenting schedule. Otherwise, your visitation rights will be relegated to the time your adult son or daughter has parenting time. If you are seeking visitation rights or guardianship of your grandson or granddaughter, contact Fernandez & Lauby by calling 866.776.3983 or emailing us online.

- Paternity

A man is presumed to be the father of a child if he was married to the mother at the time of conception. If the couple is married, there may still be cases of disputed paternity, however. If there is no marriage, but a man agrees to place his name on the birth certificate or to provide financial support of the child and care for the child as his own, the courts will consider him to be the father. Under California law, either party — father or mother — wishing to dispute paternity under either of the above circumstances must file a paternity lawsuit to prove that a male other than the name on the birth certificate is the father.

- Prenupials & Postnuptial Agreements

If you have personal assets to protect and are considering getting married, it pays to talk to a knowledgeable California family law attorney about the importance of a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements are binding agreements that stipulate what personal assets will not be considered marital property under California's community property laws, in the event of divorce.

- Military Divorce

If you are a member of the military services stationed in Southern California and considering filing for divorce, be aware of legal challenges that civilians don't face.

If you are in the military or your spouse is in the military and you want a divorce, contact one of our military divorce lawyers at 866.776.3983 or email us today.
