FAQ
Why get help with your child custody arrangement?
When it comes to the safety and well-being of your children, you want to ensure that they are taken care of. Divorce can make this messy, but not impossible. Child custody arrangements are complicated and you may be dealing with a manipulative partner, a partner who lives in a different state, or one who believes that they can provide the best home for your kids. When you work with our seasoned firm, we can keep your children’s best interests at the front of this case to ensure that any decision is for their benefit. This means working to provide solid evidence on your behalf for the safety and comfort of your kids.
Can you help me with my child support case?
This firm takes great pride in helping families with child support cases. If you attempt to work through a child support plan without the help of Bernie Kempen, you may quickly find that the tables are turning on you. It is crucial to work with a lawyer you can trust to show valid reasons that your ex-partner needs to pay child support. On the other hand, if you are being asked for an unfair amount of child support, you will want to have evidence to challenge this so that you can afford to take care of your children and other living expenses.
Can you help with different types of divorce?
Absolutely. In California, you may be wondering how to end your marriage, whether it is through an annulment, separation, or divorce. For example, you may have a religious reason for getting an annulment, essentially saying that you were never married in the first place. You may also have your reasons for a legal separation–wishing to stay together for your children–and do not want to get a divorce. Finally, you may be in a situation where divorce truly is the best option for you and you wish to end your marriage. When you work with Kempen & Company, we will make sure that you pursue the option that is best for you.
How can I protect my unique assets during a divorce?
When your relationship is ending and you have unique assets–cryptocurrency, RSUs, or even non-standard types of income–you want to protect those so that you can hold onto them after the divorce. You want to know that you are protecting assets you have worked hard for and that your ex-spouse will not take them away. Know that you can count on this office to look out for your best interests and work hard to protect your unique assets.
