Del Mar, California

Spanish for "of the sea" or "by the sea," Del Mar is a city in San Diego County located near the Pacific Ocean. Del Mar is two square miles of coastal land best known for its fairgrounds and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Del Mar is bordered on the south by Torrey Pines State Reserve, on the north by the San Dieguito River, Del Mar Racetrack and San Diego County Fairgrounds. East of Del Mar is the I-5 freeway and Carmel Valley.

Family law courts utilized by Del Mar residents are those found in San Diego. These include the Family Court located at 1555 Sixth Ave. and the Madge Bradley Courthouse located on 1409 Fourth Ave. These courthouses have jurisdiction over cases involving dissolutions of marriage as well as paternity issues.

Our Del Mar attorneys are here to help you with all your family law representation. Whether your case is contested or not contested, legal advice can be a very sound investment since it is costly and, sometimes, not legally possible to change a written agreement. It is imperative that you understand what your legal rights and legal obligations are before entering into any agreement to settle your case. For example, division of assets and debts are part of every legal separation and divorce case. If you enter into a judgment for, example, sale of a residence this may be enforced even if you change your mind later or circumstances change in future. There is a provision under San Diego law that you can ask to set aside the judgment but there are strict time limits and requirements. It is a much better procedure to make sure the agreement is what you want. If you can reach an agreement, this can be submitted to the Judge and no appearance necessary. If you cannot reach an agreement, then a court hearing will be required. The court house for Del Mar family law cases is in the San Diego court house.
