Divorce and Family Law

Walnut Creek and Redwood City

 California Divorce Lawyer

Custody • Child Support • Visitation

If you are reading this, you are probably scared, confused and anxious.  I am an attorney that knows how you are feeling.  You will get through this difficult time in your life, and I will be there to help every step of the way.  Not all divorces have to be a battle.  I will work to maintain your dignity and make the legal process work for you and your family.   

I am Joseph R. Zoucha, a Redwood City, California divorce lawyer with 28 years of experience in resolving family law issues. When children are involved, I help clients focus on the best interests of the child and strive to take the hostility out of divorce, custody and related issues.

Beyond the Divorce Decree

I pride myself on handling divorce cases in a way that treats the other spouse with dignity and understanding, while representing my client’s interests. I am careful not to destroy what remains of the relationship between the parents, as shared custody, financial obligations and joint parenting decisions continue long after the divorce papers are signed.

My extensive experience in litigation actually serves as a catalyst to productive negotiations – I am the attorney that other lawyers call when a divorce is headed for the courtroom. Through four-party negotiation, or through mediation, I help clients work out all the details of divorce agreements, including child support and spousal support (alimony).

California is a community property state. I can determine which assets belong in the “marriage pot” and which are separate property of each spouse, such as inheritances and possessions from a previous marriage. Once all assets are accounted for (including hidden sources of income), we can negotiate a fair property settlement and whether spousal support (alimony) applies.

The Law Office of Joseph R. Zoucha handles all aspects of California family law, including child custody, child support, visitation and post-divorce modifications to these agreements, and enforcement of child support.

Northern California Family Law Attorney

I recognize that the concept of “family” has changed considerably and that not all family law matters arise out of marriage. I handle custody and visitation issues for unmarried couples, and arrange stepparent adoptions and legal guardianships for minor children. My practice also represents clients in paternity litigation, including mothers seeking child support and fathers asserting their rights to visitation or joint custody.

As a Redwood City, California divorce lawyer, I approach every situation with compassion and experience. I make sure my clients receive a personal returned phone call when they contact me.  Contact me today to arrange a free initial consultation about your divorce, custody or other family law issue. I can meet you in my handicapped-accessible offices in Redwood City or Walnut Creek, including evenings or weekends by appointment.
