Divorce/Dissolution

Riverside, California, Divorce Lawyers

The decision to separate or divorce is often difficult and painful for the parties involved. The emotional stakes are high. At the Law Office of Heather M. Cullen, we seek mutually-agreed-upon divorce settlements in order to serve the best interests of the parties and the children and to help reduce the overall financial and emotional toll of the proceedings. However, we believe that the terms aggressive and sensitive are not mutually exclusive; therefore, when the parties are not able to agree and it is necessary to resolve issues in court, we provide strong advocacy and represent our clients' best interests in trial.

Moreover, when contested issues arise, such as who gets to keep the house or who gets holiday custody, we urge clients to consider a mutual resolution. This both reduces animosity and keeps the cost of a divorce settlement down.

Our role is to protect your interests and the interests of your children, to handle all necessary paperwork and documentation, and to offer objective legal opinions regarding your options and your best choices as you work toward resolving your legal matters including dissolution of marriage, legal separation or termination of domestic partnerships.

For most couples, legal separation and divorce are not simple matters. Arriving at a settlement can require working through an array of legal concerns such as:

Child custody and Visitation

Child support

Spousal support

Division of property

Modifications
