Divorce
Divorce isn’t merely about ending a relationship on paper. It encompasses a myriad of legal intricacies, including property division, child custody, spousal support, and other significant matters. Navigating these complexities without legal expertise can lead to unfavorable outcomes. In the emotional whirlwind of divorce, it’s easy to overlook your rights. An experienced attorney ensures that your rights are protected, and you receive a fair share, be it in asset division or custody arrangements.

Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders
In California, Temporary Restraining Orders are automatically triggered upon filing the Petition. There’s no need for a separate application, and they persist until dissolved by the court or until a final divorce judgment is issued. These orders serve as protective measures, deterring actions driven by spite or anger between the parties involved.
Restraining orders involve specific legal criteria that must be met for them to be granted. With MCM Law Group, P.C., you benefit from specialized knowledge that ensures your application is compelling and adheres to all necessary legal standards.
When dealing with the serious matter of restraining orders within the realm of family law, the stakes are high. It’s not merely about legal paperwork; it’s about ensuring safety, upholding rights, and navigating a highly emotional and sensitive landscape. This is where the role of private counsel becomes indispensable, and MCM Law Group, P.C. stands as a beacon of expertise and support in such situations.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is a contentious and intricate matter frequently encountered in California Family Law Court. This complexity arises from two primary factors. Firstly, it involves intricate legal considerations. Secondly, it sparks strong sentiments on both sides of the issue. Typically, the higher-earning spouse aims to minimize the support obligation, while the lower-earning spouse seeks to maximize it.
In the context of California, spousal support entails a court order mandating one spouse to make monthly financial payments to the other spouse. This arrangement is established when there exists an income disparity between the spouses. It’s important to note that spousal support pertains predominantly to married couples, with a narrow legal exception referred to as a “putative spouse” for specific cases. Unmarried couples who share children or cohabit for extended periods without formal marriage typically do not encounter spousal support concerns.
Premarital Agreements
Dismiss any negative connotations surrounding a “pre-nup!” If you genuinely care for someone and possess the maturity to acknowledge life’s uncertainties, you might consider safeguarding both your future spouse and yourself from the ordeal of a contentious divorce. Sitting down as responsible, mature individuals to establish a plan in case the worst-case scenario unfolds is an act of love and respect, akin to crafting an estate plan.
Property Division
Untangling the intricacies of property division amidst a divorce or separation can be overwhelming. How are assets classified? Which properties are shared and which are considered separate? How are debts and liabilities divided? These are just a few of the many questions that may arise during this intricate process.
Property division is essentially the allocation of assets and liabilities between parties when a relationship concludes. The process requires a deep understanding of both legal guidelines and the specific circumstances surrounding the couple’s assets. Ensuring an equitable division is paramount, but achieving it demands expertise and attention to detail.

Child Custody
Upon filing these documents, the court will automatically direct you to what was formerly known as mediation but is now referred to as CCRC, or Child Custody Recommendation Counseling.
This involves a session with a court-appointed individual who is not an attorney or judge; typically, they are a therapist or a court employee specially trained for this role. It’s important to note that you cannot bring your attorney to this meeting, although you may have a support person accompany you, although they might not be permitted to participate directly in the session.
Following this session, the Counselor compiles a report. If both parties reach an agreement, the report outlines the specifics of the agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Counselor provides a recommended plan for child custody arrangements, which is then forwarded to the judge.
Child Custody
Child custody decisions are among the most sensitive and crucial aspects of family law. These procedures not only determine the physical residence of the child but also influence the legal rights, responsibilities, and day-to-day involvement of each parent. Various factors come into play, from the child’s well-being and preferences to each parent’s capability and living situation. It’s a process that demands a profound understanding of legal regulations and a compassionate approach to family dynamics.
While the labyrinth of child custody procedures may seem overwhelming, our team at MCM Law Group, P.C. stands ready to light the way. With our deep expertise and unwavering dedication, we aim to ensure that every child’s best interests are at the forefront, and every parent’s rights are respected.

Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Restraining orders related to Domestic Violence are legal orders that regulate the interactions between parties due to physical altercations, harassment, or threats of such behavior.
In California, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders issued by Family Court differ from those issued by Criminal Court.
