Practice Areas Description

HAQ Law Firm provides legal representation and services in the following areas of family law:

- Divorce

Our divorce attorney in Riverside, CA handles complex divorce cases ranging from property and debt division, as well as accounting and assessing what is community property and separate property business. We know that divorce is not an easy matter to go through, and it becomes more stressful when there is a long-term marriage, and one has to deal with spousal support, and division of property, and division of business. We are experienced in providing representation to clients in complex divorce matters in Riverside, CA and the surrounding cities.

- Child Custody

We understand that when there is a divorce in a family, it is especially difficult for the children to cope with the separation of probably the two most important people their lives, i.e. the parents. It is extremely important for parents to understand that in a child custody case, the children are not to be used as tools or means to hurt each other. The State of California and Riverside Family Courts determine a child custody case based on what is in the best interest of the children. Generally, absent proof of any reason which could lead the family court to believe that one parent is unfit, the family law court gives joint custody of children to both parents. Joint custody involves legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody allows parents to make legal decisions about their children’s well being such as giving consent to medical procedures, day care providers, etc. Physical custody allows parents equal right to their children (but not necessarily equal time share).

- Child Support

By law, both parents are obligated to contribute financially to the care and well-being of their children. Our lawyers can help you with child support issues. In most cases, the payment of child support continues until a child reaches 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later. Child support includes three components: Basic support payments; Medical support; Child care support. Riverside family court calculates child support based on how much time a parent spends with his or her child, and the income of each parent. Our child support attorney in Riverside can help you navigate through the complex process of calculating child support. It is a very complicated formula of how to calculate child support. We also represent clients in matters involving Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) in Riverside, CA and San Bernardino, CA.

- Parenting Time and Custody

Going through a divorce or legal separation normally constitutes a need to work out child custody and a visitation schedule. It may be possible to create a plan that works for you, your spouse and, especially, your children. Though it is helpful to resolve these matters out of court, as it is a quicker and less expensive process, we are prepared to effectively represent your interests in court, if necessary. Our firm wants to serve you by protecting your rights. We have a good deal of experience serving clients with legal matters involving custody and visitation rights. We are dedicated to guiding you through this emotionally challenging process.

- Divorce - Post Decree Motions

There are some instances after the finalization of a divorce, where disagreements or disputes between the former spouses continue. We are prepared to help you. Sources of contention typically involve subjects like: Spousal maintenance; Alimony; Custody; Child support; Parenting time or visitation. If some points of conflict remain ongoing, or an issue arises after your divorce has been completed, the filing of a post-decree motion may be necessary in reaching a more effective agreement or solution to the issues at hand. Enlisting the help of a Haq Law Firm attorney could prove very helpful when there is unresolved conflict about the terms of a divorce.

- Pre-Nuptial Agreement

To remain enforceable, a prenuptial agreement should contain a full and fair disclosure of the earnings and property of each party, each side must have the opportunity to consult with a lawyer, the agreement must be in writing, and there must be a statement of the assets and income of the parties. Prenuptial agreements will be enforced by a court, unless the agreement is found to be fundamentally unfair at the time of the divorce. The contract also may not be enforced if the circumstances under which the agreement was based have changed so substantially that enforcement of the agreement would not be consistent with the expectations of the parties when the contract was executed.

- Division of Property and Assets

As part of a divorce, you will need to go through the difficult process dividing the property acquired before and during the marriage. The first step involves a determination of what is "marital" and what is "non-marital." At times, this task can get complicated, but one of the Haq Law Firm attorneys can help walk you through process. "Marital property" means property acquired by the parties during the existence of the marital relationship. All property acquired by either spouse during the marriage is presumed to be marital property regardless of whether title is held individually or by the spouses in a form of co-ownership such as joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entirety, or community property.

- Spousal Support

When a marriage ends, one person often provides continued financial support to the other in the form of payments called "alimony" or "spousal support." Traditionally, it was the husband who paid alimony to the wife, but with the rise of dual-income couples, support is generally paid by the spouse who earns a healthier income. An attorney from Haq Law Firm can assist you in sorting through these sometimes difficult details in your spousal support/alimony case. Spousal support can be temporary or permanent. Temporary spousal support ends after a certain period of time; generally long enough for the recipient to rebuild himself or herself financially. Permanent spousal support typically ceases when the recipient remarries, either party dies, or the court terminates support at a later date.

- Restraining Orders

Our family law attorney in Riverside, CA understands how difficult it is when facing a restraining order hearing, which could affect your child custody rights, or serious employment consequences. There are very specific standards in obtaining a domestic violence restraining order against a party. Our family law attorney in Riverside, CA can help you determine whether you can successfully obtain a restraining order or whether you need to utilize other legal options to protect yourself. We also provide restraining order defense to clients who are facing domestic violence charges.

- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a “Complete” discharge of all debts of debtor, i.e. any “unsecured” debt need not be paid at all. The whole Chapter 7 bankruptcy process takes about four to six months, costs $299 in filing and administrative fees, and commonly requires only one trip to the courthouse. You must also complete a chapter 7 “means test” form to determine whether a debtor is eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a debtor education course, and a credit counseling with an agency approved by the United States Trustee.
