Divorce

Alameda Divorce Attorney

Whether you are involved in a contested or uncontested divorce, our staff at the office of  Michael J. Bailey, Attorney at Law can provide the guidance and information you need to move through and past the divorce process. We take the time to assess our clients’ situations, carefully considering all legal and personal aspects of the situation. With this information, we can provide a realistic view of the possibilities for the case and a course of action can be chosen.

We approach cases as aggressively as necessary. Though we try and resolve cases through cooperative means, working with the other side to reach a favorable resolution, our staff knows that this is not always the best way in which to handle a case. We follow through on cases, taking them to trial if it is in the best interests of our clients.

Many issues may stem from a divorce. Below are the family law matters that our firm often sees and addresses for divorce clients.

• Child support
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Property division
• Alimony (spousal support)

Do-It-Yourself Divorce
Although many divorce issues are complex and should be trusted to an experienced attorney, many individuals still wish to handle their divorces on their own. California law has made it easier for attorneys to act as consultants in situations where clients are seeking to handle the majority of their divorce on their own behalf. Alameda divorce lawyer Michael Bailey has an extensive understanding of how to help individuals with do-it-yourself divorce matters. He can educate you on the process and discuss with you how he is able to help while still being considered only a consultant (for the court’s purpose) in the matter.
