      We Connect You with the Right Family Law Attorney

      At Prime Attorneys, we are a State Bar–certified lawyer referral service that maintains a network of hand-picked attorneys across California. Our role is to listen to your situation and connect you with an attorney whose experience matches your goals, completely free of charge to you.

      The family law attorneys in our network routinely handle:

      • High-net-worth and high-asset divorce
      • Legal separation and dissolution of domestic partnerships
      • Complex property division (real estate, businesses, investments, stock options, trusts)
      • Child custody, parenting time, and move-away cases
      • Child support and spousal support (alimony)
      • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
      • Paternity and fathers’ rights
      • Domestic violence and protective/restraining orders
      • Post-judgment modifications and enforcement of existing orders
      • Mediation, collaborative law, and private judging for clients who want discretion and privacy

      Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a business owner, a C-suite executive, or the spouse of a high earner, we can connect you with a lawyer who understands both the personal and financial complexity of your case.

      High-Net-Worth & Complex Asset Divorce

      High-net-worth divorces are different. They often involve:

      • Multiple homes and investment properties
      • Ownership interests in closely held businesses, professional practices, or startups
      • Complex compensation structures (stock options, RSUs, carried interest, bonuses, deferred comp)
      • Trusts, family limited partnerships, and inherited wealth
      • Significant retirement accounts and investment portfolios

      Attorneys in our network know how to:

      • Work with forensic accountants, appraisers, and financial experts
      • Distinguish community vs. separate property under California’s community property laws
      • Structure settlements that account for taxes, liquidity, and long-term security
      • Protect professional reputations and business operations during divorce

      Custody & Parenting Time for Mothers and Fathers

      Nothing matters more than your relationship with your children. The family law attorneys in our network represent both mothers and fathers in:

      • Initial child custody and visitation/parenting time orders
      • Move-away and relocation cases
      • Complex schedules for parents who travel frequently or work demanding hours
      • Custody issues involving special-needs children, private schooling, or international travel

      They focus on:

      • Crafting realistic parenting plans around your actual lifestyle
      • Protecting your role as an involved parent, regardless of gender
      • Reducing conflict where possible and litigating aggressively when necessary
      • Keeping children out of the center of adult disputes

      Whether you feel the system is stacked against fathers or you’re a mother worried about stability and safety, we’ll connect you with an attorney who can clearly explain your rights and options.

      Spousal Support, Child Support & Lifestyle Protection

      Support orders in high-income families are not “one-size-fits-all.” Courts look at:

      • Income from salary, bonuses, equity, and business distributions
      • Each spouse’s earning capacity and career sacrifices
      • The marital standard of living and your children’s needs

      The attorneys we work with can:

      • Analyze income from complex financial structures
      • Negotiate or litigate temporary and long-term spousal support
      • Ensure child support orders reflect your children’s actual lives like schooling, activities, healthcare, and more
      • Seek modifications if circumstances change significantly

      For many high-net-worth clients, the goal is to protect both financial security and privacy while avoiding unnecessary, public battles. Your matched attorney can recommend strategies that fit your priorities.

      Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

      If you’re engaged, already married, or entering a second marriage with significant assets, a carefully drafted agreement can:

      • Clarify what remains separate property
      • Outline how income, businesses, and investments will be treated
      • Reduce uncertainty and conflict if the relationship later ends

      We can connect you with family law attorneys who regularly prepare and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for executives, professionals, business owners, and their partners.

      Domestic Violence, Safety & Emergency Orders

      If you or your children are in danger or you’ve been accused of domestic violence, you need immediate, informed legal help.

      The attorneys in our network can assist with:

      • Temporary and long-term restraining orders
      • Exclusive use and possession of the residence
      • Safe parenting plans and supervised visitation where appropriate
      • Addressing false or exaggerated allegations that could impact custody and your reputation

      Your safety, your children’s safety, and your rights all matter. We connect you with counsel who understands how urgent these situations are.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law

      When should I talk to a family law attorney?
      Sooner is almost always better. Getting advice before you move out, change accounts, or agree to informal arrangements can prevent costly mistakes and position you better for negotiation or litigation.

      Do fathers have the same custody rights as mothers in California?
      Yes. California law does not favor one parent over the other based on gender. Courts focus on the best interests of the child, including each parent’s involvement, stability, and ability to meet the child’s needs. A skilled attorney can help correct misconceptions and present your role as a parent effectively.

      What if I want to keep things private and out of court?
      Many high-net-worth clients prefer mediation, collaborative law, or private judging to resolve their cases more discreetly and with more control. The attorneys we connect you with can explain which options make sense in your situation and whether court is still likely at any stage.

      How does Prime Attorneys get paid?
      Your consultation with Prime Attorneys is free. If you choose to hire an attorney we refer you to, you and that attorney will agree on fees directly. In some situations, Prime Attorneys may receive a referral fee consistent with California State Bar rules for certified lawyer referral services, but this does not increase the fee you pay your lawyer.
