Our child custody attorneys are prepared to engage in settlement negotiations or vigorous litigation when necessary. We guide clients through each step of the process in a reassuring and informative manner. Each client is apprised of their rights, responsibilities, and applicable legal procedures. We ensure they understand the available options for themselves and their children.
Child Support
Child support services are grounded in a comprehensive understanding of California family law practice. We explain the circumstances and requirements that influence support obligations. We address the factors that can affect the ultimate amount of support whether paying or receiving support clients. Our goal is to achieve appropriate outcomes for children through tailored guidance.

We prepare documentation and strategies aimed at achieving fair financial outcomes for clients. We support clients through negotiations and litigation with clear and structured legal advocacy.
Property Division Lawyer
We help clients understand common misconceptions about property division in California. While many assume a strict fifty-fifty split, outcomes depend on negotiation and asset allocation. Marital property may also include shared debts and financial obligations. We use strategic legal approaches to support favorable outcomes for clients.
Restraining Orders
We represent clients in restraining order cases across California with extensive practical experience. Many orders are entered through the CLETS system and can significantly affect background checks and employment. We emphasize the importance of responding promptly to any restraining order filed. Our attorneys work diligently to protect our clients rights and legal standing.

We provide professional guardianship legal services in California, assisting families when children require protection and care outside their parents' capacity.

I wholeheartedly endorse the Law Offices of Christian Schank and Associates. Their dedication and swift action in a time of crisis for our family were truly remarkable. When faced with an urgent child custody matter at 8am one morning, they didn't hesitate. By 3pm that same day, they had taken on our case and were ready to represent us in court the next morning at 8am. Their overnight preparation paid off as they secured a victory, ensuring my son's custody of his child.

We are profoundly thankful for their immediate assistance, which proved instrumental in safeguarding our family. Moreover, they provided us with comprehensive custody documents for future protection. If you're seeking a law firm that will stand by you and secure your success, look no further than the Law Offices of Christian Schank and Associates.

Happy to have them by my side during our court case. My Child Support Attorney personally made sure that all our questions were answered and our strategy was on point. I suggest you give them a call now because cases like mine get really ugly and you would only want the best by your side.
