Child Support
In order to fulfill all three prongs a vocational evaluation is required. The information gathered in a vocational examination is used to determine reasonable and realistic expectations of an spouse's current and future employability and what their earning capacity is. The court will review the report and will take testimony of the evaluator in making a determination and finding to fix income for a under employed or non employed parent or spouse. This is called imputation of income and is used for a determination of the amount and duration of spousal and child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
Family law is a term that encompasses legal actions that are designed to modify or define a familial relationship, including divorce, custody, and support actions. Generally, each party’s rights and obligations in a family law action are defined by the California Family Code (the Code). For example, the Code sets forth parameters for when and where divorce actions should be filed, who has the right to pursue child custody or support claims, and how much notice must be provided to adverse parties. It is critical for anyone who wishes to file a family law action to understand the Code and the procedural requirements that it sets forth. Divorce
Adoption
Paternity
Santa Clara County paternity lawyer Merrisa Coleman-Bishop advises and represents both mothers and fathers in cases involving back child support collection, establishing the identity of a child's father through paternity testing, and determining an unmarried father's right to participate actively in the life of his child. For further information about her ability to help you, contact Merrisa Coleman-Bishop in San Jose.

If you're contemplating marriage with a person who wants you to sign an agreement affecting your future rights as a condition of getting married, San Jose prenuptial agreement attorney Merrisa Coleman-Bishop can review the terms of the agreement with you to make sure that you understand them and the rights you're asked to give up, and to make sure that the agreement is clear, discloses all of each party's assets, and contains no unenforceable or prohibited terms. Contact her office in San Jose to arrange a prenuptial agreement review with an experienced family law attorney.
Spousal Support
Merrisa Coleman-Bishop has first-hand experience of what it is like to undergo a divorce, custody dispute, and spousal support dispute. She understands that her clients need dependable and legally accurate advice to guide them in some of the most important decisions that they will ever make. She starts with your own understanding of the facts that bear on your problem, and then she works with you to define your objectives. She will clarify the factual and legal background of your situation, and she will advise you as to what is the right way to proceed in your case.

Legal Separation
The determination of the date of separation is critical in determining the rights of the parties as to assets from the marriage. This includes bank accounts, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, all other financial accounts, personal property, business enterprises, partnerships, debts, and the list goes on. As you can see if a party loses their contention as to the date of separation this will directly effect what a party receives and/or owes in the resolution of their divorce and will be central to divorce and legal separation cases.

San Jose family law attorney Merrisa L. Coleman-Bishop represents persons involved in divorce cases, child custody and community property disputes, and same-sex partnerships, including parent issues.

Restraining Order
A domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) is a civil order issued by a court to prevent physical violence or threats of harm. A court may issue a DVRO in instances in which the person seeking the order can show that he or she was harassed or physically abused or received credible threats of physical abuse from a current or former spouse or domestic partner, current or former romantic partner, co-parent, or closely related family member. In most cases, after an order is issued, the alleged abuser will be prohibited from contacting his or her victim. If a person violates the terms of a DVRO, he or she may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Discuss Your Situation with a San Jose Attorney
