Divorce
Divorce can be one of the most difficult transitions in life—both emotionally and financially. At The Sands Law Group, our Los Angeles divorce lawyers protect your interests while working to minimize conflict, cost, and delays. Whether your case is contested or uncontested, we pursue fair resolutions under California family law.
HIGH NET-WORTH DIVORCE
High net-worth divorces in Los Angeles involve complex financial issues that require skilled legal guidance. At The Sands Law Group, we help clients protect valuable assets—including real estate, business interests, investments, and retirement accounts—while ensuring compliance with California’s community property laws. Our attorneys work discreetly and strategically to reach fair, efficient outcomes in even the most financially intricate cases.
CHILD CUSTODY
Child custody disputes can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. At The Sands Law Group, we help parents in Los Angeles understand their rights and develop parenting plans that serve the best interests of their children. We handle both legal and physical custody matters in negotiations and court.
CHILD SUPPORT
California law requires both parents to contribute to their child’s financial well-being after separation or divorce. At The Sands Law Group, we assist clients in Los Angeles with establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders tailored to their situation. We also offer a free California child support calculator to help you estimate potential payments.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Spousal support in California is designed to help a lower-earning spouse maintain financial stability after divorce. At The Sands Law Group, we represent clients across Los Angeles County in negotiating or contesting fair alimony agreements based on your unique financial circumstances.
Property Division
In California, marital property is generally divided equally — but the process is rarely that simple. The Sands Law Group helps you identify, value, and fairly divide assets to protect your financial future.
Prenuptial Agreements
Protect your assets and plan for the future with a prenuptial agreement tailored to your needs. At The Sands Law Group, we help couples in Los Angeles create legally enforceable prenups that clarify financial responsibilities and safeguard personal and business property.
DIVORCE MEDIATION
Resolve your divorce more peacefully and affordably with skilled mediation services. At The Sands Law Group, we help couples in Los Angeles navigate divorce through guided negotiation, reaching fair and lasting agreements without the stress of court litigation.
Guardianship
When a child’s parents are unable to provide care, legal guardianship ensures their safety, stability, and well-being. At The Sands Law Group, our family law attorneys help relatives and loved ones in Los Angeles navigate the guardianship process, from filing petitions to court representation, always prioritizing the best interests of the child.
How can our Los Angeles family lawyers help with your divorce?
Many people initially believe they can manage a family law matter on their own—especially with the abundance of online tools and DIY divorce kits. While these resources may seem quick and affordable, they often lead to avoidable complications, overlooked rights, and costly long-term consequences. Even in seemingly amicable cases, unexpected legal issues can arise that require experienced guidance.
At The Sands Law Group, APLC, our Los Angeles family law attorneys help you avoid critical missteps by offering sound legal advice and strategic representation from the start. Whether your case involves child custody, asset division, or spousal support, having a skilled attorney by your side ensures your rights are protected and your best interests are prioritized.
Comprehensive Case Evaluation
Every case is different. We analyze the full picture—your finances, your goals, and your family dynamics—to develop a strategy tailored to your situation.
Navigating Complex Legal Issues
California family law is constantly evolving. We stay up to date with the latest laws and court procedures to ensure your case is handled efficiently and effectively.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
When possible, we employ mediation and collaborative law to resolve family disputes without going to court—saving you time, stress, and money.
Aggressive Representation When Needed
If litigation becomes necessary, our family attorneys are prepared to fight for your rights in court with a clear, focused, and compelling approach.
Accurate Legal Document Preparation
From filing a divorce petition to drafting custody agreements and support orders, we ensure every document is properly prepared and submitted according to California family law standards—avoiding costly errors and delays.
Emotional Support & Legal Guidance
Family law matters can take an emotional toll. Our attorneys offer steady, compassionate guidance to help you stay focused, informed, and confident throughout your case.
Whether you’re dealing with a high-conflict custody battle or simply need guidance through a peaceful separation, working with an experienced lawyer like Thomas Sands can dramatically improve your outcome. Legal matters involving your family deserve experienced counsel—not guesswork. We also empower families with the information they need by offering free, confidential consultations with an experienced Los Angeles family law attorney.
Can I Handle My Family Law Matter Without a Family Attorney?
While it’s legally possible to represent yourself in a family law case, doing so without the guidance of an experienced Los Angeles family attorney can put your rights, finances, and future at serious risk.
California family law is complex, with strict procedures, evolving statutes, and local court rules that vary throughout Los Angeles County. Without legal training, you may struggle to properly prepare and file court documents, meet deadlines, or understand what’s required to protect your interests. Even minor mistakes can delay your case or result in unfavorable rulings.
At The Sands Law Group, APLC, our Los Angeles family lawyers bring clarity to complicated legal issues and ensure every detail of your case is handled correctly. Whether you’re dealing with divorce, child custody, spousal support, or asset division, we provide strategic counsel and help you avoid costly errors.
Family law matters are also deeply personal and emotionally charged. Our attorneys offer objective legal advice, helping you make level-headed decisions during a time when emotions may cloud judgment. We are skilled in both negotiation and litigation, giving you a strong advocate whether you’re pursuing a fair settlement or protecting your interests in court.
Perhaps most importantly, without proper legal support, you risk overlooking essential rights—such as child custody, visitation, spousal support, or property entitlements—which can have lasting effects on your life and your family.
Having a trusted family law attorney in Los Angeles on your side is not just helpful—it’s often critical to achieving a fair and lasting resolution.
