Family Law

Alameda, California Family Law Lawyer

Our staff at the office of  Michael J. Bailey, Attorney at Law offers clients tailored legal representation in the area of family law. These cases are often very emotionally charged and can become quite complex. We work hard to resolve these issues out of court first, in a collaborative manner. This approach is often most beneficial to all parties involved. However, we are not afraid to take a case to trial if necessary. Below are the main areas of family law in which we help clients.

Divorce
We represent clients in and assist with contested and uncontested divorce (also called dissolution of marriage) matters.  Attorney Michael Bailey also offers assistance to clients looking for information and guidance in do-it-yourself divorce situations.

Custody and Support
Any legal issues involving children must be addressed as efficiently as possible in order to minimize the stress they face throughout the course of a divorce or other family law related dispute. We are especially sensitive to issues where children are going to be impacted by the result. Our firm strives to see that these cases are handled cooperatively with the opposing side in the matter, though this is not always possible.

Property Division
Since California is a community property state, it is important to enlist the assistance of an experienced attorney in order to determine your property rights. We can help you understand the difference between separate and community property, using this information to seek the property and assets that are rightfully yours.
