Kim Mediation and Law Center, Family Law Lawyer in Los Angeles Helping Clients Navigate a Complex Area of Law

Kim Mediation and Law Center, APC - Family Law Firm in California

The legal system is packed with complex issues but rarely do areas of the judicial system elicit as much emotion as what we see in family law. This practice area deals with issues like child custody, divorce, domestic violence, and property division. Such situations often arise as a consequence of failed relationships — which are already emotional by nature. Unfortunately, this frequently results in combative disagreements that end up in the adversarial environment of the courtroom. It is possible to avoid stressful endeavors, however, even when going through such a difficult time. A family law lawyer in Los Angeles can help you through this process.

At Kim Mediation and Law Center, you’ll work with a dedicated family law attorney with more than 25 years of experience in her field. Los Angeles lawyer Lynette Kim has seen just how challenging these cases can be, so she strives to help her clients reach an outcome without the stress of litigation. While coming to any type of agreement with a former partner may seem impossible right now, a family law practice that focuses on cooperative approaches to the law may be able to help. In doing so, you’ll have far more control over any eventual outcome than you would by letting a judge make decisions. Contact us today for a free consultation.

A Cooperative Approach to Family Law

family lawyer and client image

Whether you’re facing significant child custody disagreements or simply want to figure out the best way to divide property, taking a cooperative approach to family law is ideal. By going this route, you’re taking control out of the hands of the state. You and your former partner understand your situation better than anyone else, so why would you want a judge with limited knowledge of your situation to make major life decisions for you? California courts want you to reach agreements with your soon-to-be-former spouse. By doing so, you reduce the stress on the system while reaching an arrangement that works for everyone involved.

We offer two forms of the cooperative legal process at Kim Mediation and Law Center. First, you can gain access to a skilled mediator. Few Los Angeles family law lawyers have experience in mediation — a process that involves sitting down with your former spouse and a neutral third party to reach a beneficial outcome. The mediator can guide your discussion while ensuring that you stay within the confines of the law. With a collaborative approach, you’ll have your own attorney who is trained in the collaborative approach. They’ll work directly with your spouse’s lawyer. Collaborative family law attorneys take a cooperative approach while still looking out for each of their client’s individual interests.

If these approaches aren’t right for your situation, you will not forego your right to litigation. Since you can get a free consultation at Kim Mediation and Law Center, though, there’s no reason to jump straight into the courtroom. Why not learn more about the cooperative approaches and how you can benefit from such strategies?

Do I Need a Family Law Lawyer in Los Angeles, CA?

women with ring in her hand

While people realize that mediation and collaborative law can save time and money, they often ask why they need family law lawyers at all. After all, — shouldn’t they be able to achieve a consensus with their former partner on their own? Unfortunately, this isn’t typically how things work out. Without a neutral third party or legal representative helping, it’s often impossible for individuals in a relationship to get past the “I need to win” thought process. Additionally, it can be difficult to understand how an agreement should work out — particularly when you don’t have sufficient legal expertise.

Even if you’ve already reached an agreement with your former spouse, though, Los Angeles divorce lawyers and family law professionals can still help. Any agreement — whether it’s a child custody arrangement with the other parent or a premarital contract dictating future divorce terms — must abide by California law. If you don’t know what specific contracts and agreements are required, you could very well submit legal documentation that’s not enforceable under the law. This is why you should speak with a Los Angeles family law attorney to make sure all your metaphorical ducks are in a row. Otherwise, your attempt to simplify things could become costly and time-consuming.
