California divorces deal with a variety of issues, including:
For higher net worth couples, the issues can be particularly contentious because more is on the line. At Moradi Saslaw, our knowledgeable team can help you identify, appraise, and classify valuable property you may own or have an interest in, including valuable real and personal property.
We can expertly apply California community property laws and contract principles to argue for the best resolution of your divorce case.
Many high-net-worth couples choose to enter into detailed prenuptial and postnuptial agreements in order to avoid the community property rules in California. Our lawyers have a strong understanding of contract principles and factors that are evaluated when determining whether such agreements will be enforced by California courts.
California recognizes that spouses who have disparate incomes may need spousal support to be awarded to bridge the financial gap between the spouses. California courts consider many factors when determining whether to award spousal support and in what amount. These factors include:

Child support guidelines do not apply to many high-net-worth couples, so child support matters for these individuals are usually much more complex than in other cases. Additionally, these individuals may be concerned about how to pay for luxury items or expenses commiserate with their child’s standard of living, such as the payment for private school or college tuition, a personal vehicle for their child, financial accounts held on behalf of the child, travel, and extracurricular activities. Our team can help resolve these issues so that your child is properly provided for.
Our knowledgeable lawyers know that one of your most important goals is to take good care of your children. Hopefully, your spouse shares this goal. We can help you negotiate or mediate a co-parenting plan that puts your child’s interests first.
Temporary orders are court orders that are made while a case is pending. Because high-net-worth divorce cases are usually more complex, they may take longer to resolve. Therefore, being able to put temporary orders in place is often key to protecting your interests in the interim.
When you are going through a divorce in Palo Alto, you have several options for how to resolve the matter, including:
California courts respect the right of married couples to decide how to resolve their family matters. Most divorces are ultimately resolved through a settlement, either by the parties themselves or through negotiations with their attorneys. When possible, Moradi Saslaw can help resolve your divorce case through this private and confidential manner. Our goal is to help you achieve your divorce goals with as little conflict as possible.
In some cases, we may recommend mediation. This is a process in which a neutral mediator meets with the spouses and their lawyers in an attempt to settle the divorce case. The mediator does not represent either party but instead tries to facilitate an agreeable resolution between the parties. Moradi Saslaw attorneys have served as mediators or consulting attorneys in previous cases and can lend our experience to your case.
California collaborative divorce involves working with your spouse and professionals to reach a settlement out of court. You and your spouse are both required to cooperate in good faith. If your case does not settle, you must use a different attorney to advance with litigation.
If a spouse is being unreasonable, there is a history of abuse or concealment of assets, or your spouse has a position regarding custody, property division, or support that is much different than yours, your case may best be resolved through divorce litigation. This process entails giving the court the authority to make decisions about your finances and children that are binding on both parties.
When so much is at stake, it is critical to quickly retain highly-qualified legal representation. The Palo Alto high-net-worth divorce lawyers at Moradi Saslaw are uniquely equipped to help high-net-worth divorce cases. Let us put our extensive experience to use in our case.
