Law & Mediation Offices Of Maureen A Faria

Divorce
As a highly experienced Family Law and Divorce attorney, she is able to help her clients with whatever type of case and service they need: from the simplest uncomplicated and uncontested matters to the highly contested and complex cases; from “unbundled” services (providing advice only, Â document preparation only, or partial assistance with specific limited issues only), to full service and representation as counsel of record. Whatever your issue, and whatever your need, Ms. Faria can help you sort out your rights, obligations and options before any legal action is taken.
Child Support
This form of financial obligation for oneâ€™s children is available to parents, guardians, andÂ as reimbursement to governmental agencies (i.e, Department of Child Support Services). TheÂ amount of the support is determined by a very complex mathmatical formula set forth by theÂ legislature. In essence, it is a â€œnet taxâ€ figure taking into consideration the gross income of eachÂ parent, their respective tax obligations, and the percentage of time each parent has responsibilityÂ for the children. The calculation is made by computer (usually Dissomaster), which is referred toÂ as â€œguidelineâ€ support. Except in hardship cases, or the partiesâ€™ agreement otherwise, the courtÂ is required to order the guideline amount.
Child Custody and Visitation
A child custody attorney must be compassionate yet strong, for this particular issue is one ofÂ the most difficult and emotionally challenging of all family law matters. The law is complexÂ and there are no set rules or solutions. Each familyâ€™s circumstances are unique to them and soÂ too the outcome of their case.
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
TheÂ Law And Mediation Offices of Maureen A. Faria Â can help you fileÂ legal agreements and ordersâ€‹ Â in theÂ Rocklin, CA, area, including prenuptial agreements and restraining orders. It is important that you seek legal representation to help you draft and file these legal documents, and it is especially important to do so in a timely manner.Â Schedule a consultation with us today (in-office, by phone, or via Zoom) to discuss the documents you need.
Spousal Support
Spousal support law is complicated. While it is available to married parties, orÂ domestic partners, it is not a guaranteed right for either party. The purpose for the support is toÂ provide financial relief for the lesser earning spouse so as to maintain the marital standard ofÂ living as much as possible for both parties. Of course, this is often an unrealistic and/or impossible prospect for the average family who are now having to support two households whenÂ before there was only one.
Legal Separation
Regardless of what legal separation you wish to pursue, there is almost always a great deal of stress and confusion involved.Â ContactÂ the Law And Mediation Offices of Maureen A. Faria today for a free 30-minute consultation (in-office, by phone, or via Zoom) to discuss your desire to modify your marital status today.
Annulment
Marriage is an official status as a civil contract under the law. For it to be valid and legally recognized in the state, certain conditions must have been met before it was entered into. For a spouse to want to terminateÂ the marriage by annulment, there must beÂ sufficient legal grounds to do so. Acceptable grounds are limited and include a prior court finding of insanity or fraud perpetrated by one of the spouses in theÂ inducement to marry. When a marriage is terminated by annulment, it has the legal effect of having never happened: no communityÂ property characterization attaches to any of the assets or debts acquired after the date ofÂ marriage, and no spousal support is available to either party. That said,Â child custody Â and/or child supportÂ actions remainÂ viable,Â as the existence of a valid marriage is not a prerequisite to a court order. These cases require evidence and support that is best served with the addition of strong legal representation.

Restraining Order

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Ms. Faria has also helped many clients file forÂ legal separation, an alternative resolution. Legal separation is essentiallyÂ identical to the divorce action except for one primary aspect: it does not terminate the status ofÂ marriage. ThusÂ the parties are not returned to single status and not free to re-marry. SomeÂ couples prefer this to divorce for religious reasons,Â so that a non-employee spouse can retain coverageÂ as a dependent under the employee spouseâ€™s health insurance, or sometimes for estate planning reasons. ContraryÂ to a divorce, there is no six-month residency requirement to file the actionÂ and no six-monthÂ waiting period before for the judgment of legal separation can be effective.
