The Law Office of Barbara J. May provides personalized legal services in several areas of family law and estate law. As a small Monterey firm, we will handle your case with the prompt and personal attention it deserves.
Complex Divorce, Property Division and Spousal Support
Regardless of your situation, our firm's Monterey divorce attorneys can help you develop a viable asset division strategy and represent you in California divorce proceedings. When the variety, complexity or volume of marital assets is significant, the equitable division of these assets requires experienced legal counsel. Contact us for help with your situation.
Child Custody, Support and Visitation, and Paternity Actions
Our goal is to help you achieve a child custody, child support or visitation agreement that works for you and your child, one that protects your relationship and ensures adequate financial support to allow your child to thrive. Whether you are seeking a child custody agreement as part of a divorce, as part of a determination of paternity or a modification to a current support order, we can help. Contact our Salinas child support attorneys for help with your case.
Modifications and Move-Aways
Our Monterey custody modification lawyers can help you assess your child custody, visitation or child support situation and explore options for improving it. When move-aways are involved, we can represent the interests of either parent in working out the best possible arrangements.
Adoptions
In California, there are several kinds of adoptions. We can help you with stepparent, domestic partner or independent adoptions.
Guardianship, Conservatorship and Estate Litigation
Our attorneys can prepare all the necessary paperwork and navigate the probate court proceedings involved in a guardianship or conservatorship case. Since a guardianship or conservatorship can be contested or uncontested, we can help you develop an appropriate course of action and negotiate on your behalf for the best interests of the child or adult in question. We also provide estate litigation and probate services.
Our attorneys can assist you in reaching your goals in the most cost-effective manner possible. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
