When it comes to dividing up property during a divorce, the court will typically follow state law. In California, the court will divide property in a “fair and equitable” manner, taking into account each spouse’s contributions to the marriage. This can be a complex process, so it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side.

I cannot thank Schank Family Law and my attorney, Vanessa Estrada, enough for everything they did for me and my daughter. After a long and difficult custody battle, we achieved a successful outcome, and I truly believe Vanessa’s dedication, knowledge, and hard work played a major role in that victory. From day one, Vanessa genuinely cared about my case. She took the time to understand every detail, remembered every situation, and always made me feel like my case mattered. Her professionalism, preparation, and knowledge of family law gave me confidence throughout one of the most stressful times of my life. What impressed me most was how hard she fought. She never gave up, stayed focused on what was in my child’s best interest, and stood by me every step of the way. Whenever I had questions or concerns, she was responsive, honest, and always prepared. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares about her clients, is extremely knowledgeable, and will fight for you until the very end, I highly recommend Vanessa Estrada and Schank Family Law. Thank you, Vanessa, for helping me secure a better future for my daughter and for being such a strong advocate during this journey. I will always be grateful. ❤️Posted on GoogleAsh M
