Why We Built This Course
Most people spend the early weeks of a divorce searching for answers in the wrong places. They read general articles, ask friends who went through something different, and try to piece together a process that varies significantly depending on the state, the assets, and the people involved. By the time they sit down with an attorney, they have either absorbed misinformation or spent weeks in unnecessary uncertainty.
We built this course to close that gap by addressing the issues people miss early, the decisions that cannot be undone, and the questions that should have been asked from the start. Five modules, no filler – just what California divorce actually involves, explained by the attorneys who litigate it.
Meet Your Guide
Christian Schank — Founder and Lead Attorney, Schank Family Law
Quote: “I built this course because the questions people have at the beginning of a divorce are the same ones that keep them up at night. My goal is straightforward: walk through what’s actually ahead of you, help you understand the issues you may not even know to ask about yet, and make sure you’re in a stronger position by the end. This is what we do every day and now it’s available to you directly.”

What the course covers
1
Welcome to the Course
Attorney Christian Schank walks you through what this course is built to do, how to approach it, and how to identify the issues most relevant to your situation before you begin.
2
Assets 101
California’s community property framework has significant implications for how courts classify and divide what you and your spouse have built together. This module covers the landscape — the family home, financial accounts, retirement assets, and business interests — and what happens when the picture is complicated.
3
Kids and Custody
California courts evaluate custody based on a defined set of factors, and understanding how those factors apply to your family changes how you approach the process. This module covers legal and physical custody, parenting time, and what the best interests standard actually means in practice.
4
Support During Divorce
Spousal support and child support are two of the most contested and least understood areas of California divorce. This module explains how courts approach both, what factors drive those determinations, and what you need to know before financial decisions are made.

Next Steps
What happens after you finish the course. What to look for when retaining representation, what to avoid in the early stages of a case, and how Schank Family Law can help you move forward with a strategy built around your specific situation.
