Divorce With Respect and Dignity

- Child, spousal and partner support
- Property division

Protecting the Children
Children are the most important — and vulnerable — parties in a divorce. Unfortunately, petty arguments and grudges can prolong the proceedings. These negative actions can also cause lasting emotional and even psychological harm to your children.
Attorney Yasmin C. Spiegel has taught mediation and child custody courses for the California State Bar, Martin Luther King School of Law and the National Business Institute. She has developed effective strategies that focus on the special needs of children going through divorce and other family events.
Divorce can be handled respectfully and diplomatically. The key is maintaining respect for your ex-spouse or ex-partner and your children, as well as yourself — and being willing to seek a solution that includes everyone's needs.
Dividing Property and Retirement Funds
Years ago, when a couple divorced, the typical outcome was that the wife got the house and the husband got the retirement funds. Today, many, more creative solutions are implemented. California law mandates that marital assets should be divided as fairly as possible. We have in-depth experience helping families understand and successfully achieve these results.
We will analyze your property to help determine creative and equitable solutions for division. Sometimes it is possible to identify those assets whose value can be offset against another, or ways to create alternative methods for transfer of an equalizing payment.
Together with our client, we focus on what each party fundamentally needs to adjust to their new life. This gives us an opportunity to explore ways to meet your needs. Our approach to property division will help you feel better about the divorce process, because of the potential that everyone's needs could ultimately be met.
A Brighter Tomorrow
Divorce and family disruption is a traumatic event. We can help you successfully navigate the process, and base decisions on solid information and advice. When you are proactive, you will feel empowered and the result will be a clearer, calmer, and more long-lasting resolution for you and your family.
