or virtual Consultation
It does not matter if your case is a legal separation, paternity or divorce. It also does not matter if your case has many issues such as division of debt, division of asset, reimbursement claims, alimony, child support, visitation, custody or only one issue such as nullity. Unless you are an experienced family law attorney in San Diego, you will not know the appropriate techniques and strategies to protect your rights and try and obtain your legal goals. A free in-person or virtual consultation with an attorney who practices in the San Diego Superior Court Family Law Division can be the most valuable resource to give you information so you can make the most intelligent and informed decisions. To find an attorney who will offer a free in-person or virtual consultation, since many family law attorneys in San Diego charge a consultation fee, you can use the resource of the Bar Certified Referral Services. Below are links to three Bar Certified Referral Services by the State Bar of California in San Diego County and each one will refer you to a qualified family law attorney in San Diego. Nothing will replace an individual consultation since you can ask questions and receive answers on your specific issues. The attorneys on the panel are pre screened for qualifications. It is recommended to obtain at least two consultations.
The County of San Diego has an office called the Family Law Facilitator. This is also an excellent resource and you can meet with one of their staff who can assist in the preparation of forms and legal procedures. No representation will be provided for Court. The benefit is that there is no charge and the costs borne by the County of San Diego. There are offices of the San Diego Facilitator’s Office at the main family law courthouse downtown, north county family law courthouse in Vista, south county family law courthouse in Chula Vista and east county family law court house in El Cajon.
Third Resource: San Diego County Public Law LibraryThe San Diego County has several branches of the Law Library. This is also an excellent resource. Public libraries are located at the main Law Library downtown and at the court complexes in north county, south bay and east county.
Fourth Resource: Independent Legal Research on Your Family Law IssuesGiven the internet, it is possible for you to independently research your issues. Be extremely careful of the source and content since the internet can also have information which is not current or accurate. Many family law attorneys in San Diego have websites with articles which may be informative on a variety of legal issues.
