Your Family Lawyer

“You have lots of experience in divorce and family matters. I would recommend you to another person in my situation especially if children and/or property was involved.” ~ Steven T.

Are you facing a divorce or separation? Is your spouse threatening to take everything you have and leave you penniless? Do you want to make sure that you are part of your children’s lives after the divorce? Do you want to prevent these issues from arising in your marriage?

Do you have more debt than you have income?  Are creditors calling you day and night?  Then you may wish to consider filing for bankruptcy protection to get a fresh start.

If you answered no to these questions, you may not need an attorney. However, if you have any of these concerns and don’t know what steps to take next to resolve your problems, then you have come to the right place.

A Compassionate Approach

Resolving emotionally charged family law issues depends on finding solutions that are fair and acceptable to both sides, rather than escalating the acrimony and pain with endless – and expensive – courtroom wrangling.

Rick D. Banks has become the trusted advisor to his clients by striving for the best outcome in an efficient and cost-effective manner, and by personally attending to each and every case he undertakes. He is a skilled mediator and can often settle a case without the cost and trauma of a courtroom trial. Of course, in cases where amicable settlement is not possible, he is an aggressive protector of your rights and interests.

Divorce – Reach an agreement that both sides feel is equitable and workable. Child Custody – Protect your children from additional trauma by negotiating custody and visitation rights that serve their best interests.

Spousal Support – Because spousal support is not an automatic right, it must be skillfully negotiated. Rick is well-versed in winning ample support arrangements.

Child Support – Make sure your children’s needs are met by ensuring compliance with California child support guidelines.

Property Division – Protect your assets. Although you are entitled to half of those held in common, that depends on which assets are deemed to be community and which are separate.

Premarital Agreement – Create an enforceable, mutually agreeable arrangement that protects your rights and assets.
