Addressing the Unique Challenges of High Asset Couples
Many of our firm's southern California clientele are from leading families in the southern California business community, successful entrepreneurs, or celebrities in film, television, music and sports. Whether the primary financial supporter of the family or a homemaker, each member of a couple with significant assets has unique circumstances that must be taken into account when developing a comprehensive alimony and property settlement agreement.
Clients value the strong legal advocacy and skill PLLJ attorneys demonstrate in negotiating and mediating spousal support agreements, as these ADR processes keep potentially acrimonious issues under the direct control of the client. Mediation and other alternative methods of resolving alimony disputes can also maximize the privacy of sensitive financial and personal information.
When litigation is in a client’s best interest, we are experienced trial lawyers with substantial experience resolving spousal maintenance disputes at all levels of California family court.
Contact our Los Angeles office to schedule an appointment. PLLJ also assists clients who wish to modify an existing support order after a change in life circumstances. We provide guidance to registered domestic partners with questions regarding support after the termination of a domestic partnership relationship.
