Your Trusted Family Law Advocates,
Yanez & Associates focuses exclusively on California family law, representing clients in divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, domestic violence, property division, and other family law matters. Our attorneys include Certified Family Law Specialists and bring decades of experience representing clients throughout Orange County and Los Angeles County. We provide practical legal guidance based on the circumstances of each case, whether the matter can be resolved through negotiation or requires litigation

We handle a wide range of family law matters including divorce, child custody, spousal support, and property division.

Why Choose Our Family Law Firm?

Yanez & Associates has represented individuals and families throughout Orange County and Los Angeles County in a wide range of California family law matters. Our attorneys evaluate each case based on its particular facts, applicable California law, and the client’s objectives. When appropriate, we work toward resolution through negotiation or mediation; when court intervention is necessary, our attorneys are prepared to litigate the issues before the court.

At Yanez & Associates, we begin by identifying the legal and practical issues that matter most in each case. We discuss your objectives, explain the applicable California family law, and evaluate the available options before determining how to proceed. Because family law cases can change as circumstances develop, our attorneys remain focused on both the immediate issues before the court and the potential long-term effects on you and your family.

Full-Service Family Law Representation

For example, we offer a wide range of legal services, including but not limited to:

  • Divorce proceedings
  • Child custody and visitation agreements
  • Spousal and child support arrangements
  • Property division
  • Domestic violence restraining orders

Our attorneys represent clients in these and other family law matters from initial filings and negotiations through contested hearings and post-judgment proceedings.

Clear and Consistent Communication

Clear communication is an important part of our representation. We explain significant developments in your case, discuss available legal options, and help you understand the potential consequences of important decisions. Our goal is to ensure that you have the information necessary to make informed decisions as your case progresses.

Client-Centered Advocacy

Every family law matter presents different priorities. For some clients, preserving a workable co-parenting relationship may be especially important; for others, immediate concerns may involve the safety of a child, financial support, property rights, or enforcement of an existing court order. We work with each client to identify those priorities and determine the legal approach appropriate to the circumstances.
