Happy American Businesswomen's Day! There's a day for this? Why, yes… yes there is… because look at how far we've come! 👑 The legal industry has, for a very long-time, been a male-dominated industry. Approximately 40% of lawyers in 2022 were women. The percentage of female-owned law firms was even less. BUT… There has been a MASSIVE shift in the industry! More women are finding themselves opening their own firms and becoming successful businesswomen giving them the ability to run their firms and serve their clients in the way they know is best. I was fortunate enough to have had the support system to open my own firm and build a business that I'm incredibly proud of. It is NO small feat but INCREDIBLY rewarding! Let's celebrate this day together because we deserve it! 🙌

Let's talk spousal support. What many people don't understand about spousal support is how it's determined and who qualifies for it. In California, spousal support, also known as alimony, is not a one-size-fits-all situation. The court may order one party to support the other during or after a divorce, based on a variety of factors. These include the supported party's job skills, the need for further education or training, the length of the marriage, and the standard of living established during the marriage. It's not just about whether one party needs support but also about ensuring that the supported party has a fair chance to become self-supporting within a reasonable timeframe. This can be a complex process, and it's crucial to have the right legal representation to navigate these waters. If you have questions about spousal support and want to make sure your rights are protected, reach out to our team for expert guidance. We're here to help you understand and manage your spousal support concerns.
