Family law in California governs the most personal and impactful aspects of life—divorce, custody, child and spousal support, property division, and more. These issues can shape your future, your finances, and your relationship with your children.
In San Luis Obispo, navigating family law requires not only an understanding of California statutes but also local court procedures and dynamics. Whether you’re filing for divorce, seeking custody, or modifying an existing order, your case deserves a strategic and compassionate approach.
At Fernandez Family Law, we’ve helped families throughout San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, and Pismo Beach handle family law matters with clarity, care, and proven results.
How the Family Law Process Works in San Luis Obispo
Every family law case is unique, but most follow a similar roadmap. Here’s what to expect:
✅ Step 1: Consultation & Case Assessment
We listen to your story, identify your goals, and begin building your case strategy.
✅ Step 2: File in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court
We prepare and submit the required legal documents at the Family Law Division, initiating the legal process.
✅ Step 3: Temporary Orders (If Needed)
We help secure immediate orders for custody, support, or protection if your situation requires urgent intervention.
✅ Step 4: Discovery & Negotiation
We gather all relevant facts and negotiate to reach fair, enforceable agreements—always aiming to minimize conflict.
✅ Step 5: Court Hearings or Settlement
Whether we’re in mediation or before a judge, we advocate for your rights with precision and strength.
✅ Step 6: Final Judgment & Post-Judgment Support
Once orders are finalized, we help ensure they are followed—and modified if life circumstances change.
