Experienced Family Law Guidance
A California Lawyer Dedicated to Protecting Children's Interests
At the Law Office of J. Richard Sokol, we are dedicated to protecting the interests of children and parties who are affected by family law decisions. For more than 30 years, our founding Attorney, J. Richard Sokol, has been achieving meaningful results for clients in Sacramento County by continually encouraging cooperation.
Some areas we can assist you with include:
- Divorce: After taking the time to understand your unique needs, we will draft a cooperation letter on your behalf and begin negotiating with your former spouse to reach a mutually beneficial Divorce agreement. Even if an agreement cannot be reached outside of court, having attempted cooperation will cast you in a favorable light before the court.
- Child custody and visitation: Joint custody allows both parents to play a vital role in the child's upbringing and is generally in the child's interest. However, under certain circumstances, we will pursue sole custody on behalf of our clients if necessary. We will also assist you in developing a parenting plan that outlines your Child Custody and Visitation rights and accurately reflects your child's needs.
- Child support: Each parent's time, respective income and time spent with children are taken into account when determining Child Support.
- Spousal support: Alimony is a form of financial maintenance that a bread winner is required to pay a former spouse. We will skillfully present your case before a judge and assist you in obtaining equitable spousal support orders.
- Modification to existing family court orders: Substantial changes to your income may prompt the court to modify your existing child and spousal support orders. We can also assist you in seeking modification to your current child custody and visitation agreement.
