Irvine & Riverside Attorneys for Contested Divorces

California is a no-fault divorce state. That means that either spouse can file and pursue a divorce, with or without the consent of the other spouse. It seems simple enough, until the filing party realizes that the other spouse can throw up significant roadblocks to contest a fair settlement or final judgment.

Types of Contested Divorce Cases

Generally, Southern California family law judges will expect the parties to do everything possible to resolve contested issues in mediation or by using other methods of alternative dispute resolution. But the courts also recognize that some parties may not be willing to accept any solution, short of a jury trial. Our team of California contested divorce attorneys includes knowledgeable negotiators and mediators, but we also bring the power and experience of some of the region's most experienced and skillful trial lawyers to your case.

Many contested divorce cases involve hidden assets and debts. We work with independent accounting and property valuation experts to make sure your financial interests are protected and the financial facts are laid on the table.

We have experience in contested divorce and legal separation cases involving:

• Family business valuations
• Contested child custody matters
• Military divorce
• Dividing complex assets and family debt
• Divorces involving a contested prenuptial agreement

• Pensions, 401(k)s, retirement accounts and stock options

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
