Bamieh & Erickson - Ventura County Divorce Lawyers

If you need reliable advice and resourceful representation in a divorce, child custody dispute, or paternity action, contact the family law attorneys at Bamieh & Erickson in Ventura. We'll help you define your objectives with respect to the main issues involved in your case, and we'll work toward finding the fastest and most cost-effective ways of achieving your goals.

We assist family law clients with problems such as the following:

Divorce. Our divorce lawyers will make a careful examination of the marital assets and debts and help you assert your rights to your fair share of the community property. Our understanding of the California Family Code can help resolve difficult characterization questions as to community or separate property. We'll also work toward the favorable resolution of child custody, child support, and parenting time issues. If spousal support appears to be an issue in your divorce, we'll give you a clear understanding of your rights and obligations and present your position in court as necessary.

Post-Decree Enforcement and Modification. California divorce decrees are enforceable by contempt of court, which can serve as a powerful tool in obtaining compliance with child support and spousal support orders. If substantial changes in circumstances, such as changes in income, medical condition, or other support obligations make it necessary to adjust the terms of a child or spousal support order, we can also present your case for modification of the decree based on the new facts.

Paternity Actions. We represent both mothers and fathers in actions to determine the paternity and child support obligations concerning a child born to unmarried parents. We also represent unmarried fathers in petitions to determine parenting time in order to secure their ability to play a meaningful role in their child's life.

Our Ventura family law attorneys also represent clients in matters concerning stepparent adoption and adult adoption, domestic violence cases, and grandparents' visitation rights.
