Enforcement of parenting time

Spousal Support (Alimony)

We also represent fathers seeking to modify or terminate spousal support due to changes in income, cohabitation, or retirement.

Protect separate property (e.g., business interests, inheritances)
Identify hidden or undisclosed assets
Divide debts fairly
Navigate military retirement or pension division
Handle division of crypto, intellectual property, and modern assets

Why Fathers in Oceanside Choose Reel Fathers Rights Common Divorce Issues Fathers Face in Oceanside

False Allegations of Domestic Violence

It’s a disturbing trend: A father files for 50/50 custody, and suddenly he’s served with a restraining order full of fabricated accusations. Family Code §3044 can flip custody upside down if you’re found to have committed domestic violence—even if you’ve done nothing wrong. We know how to beat false DVROs and protect your relationship with your children.

Being Forced Out of the Home

Choosing to move out of the marital home on your own accord can have significant consequences that may impact your family law situation. It might affect your chances of obtaining custody of your children, potentially lead to a higher support obligation, and ultimately harm your case in the long run. Before you take any action or make any decisions, it is crucial to consult with an attorney. We are here to assist you in planning your exit strategy thoughtfully and effectively, while ensuring that your rights are fully protected throughout the process.

Parental Alienation

When a former partner attempts to manipulate your child’s feelings against you, it can be a deeply painful and distressing experience. This situation is not only emotionally challenging, but it may also be considered a legal matter. In such cases, we incorporate arguments related to parental alienation into custody disputes. Our goal is to persuade the courts to acknowledge and take seriously the harmful behaviors that can damage the essential connection between a parent and their child. Such recognition is important for ensuring that the child’s best interests are prioritized and that the parent-child relationship is protected from manipulative influences.
