Divorce
Divorce mediation is really about the two spouses deciding their own dissolution issues and what is best for their family all the while avoiding contentious court litigation. Through this process, your mediator assists you in working through the issues so that the two of you may end your marriage in a non-litigious and amicable manner. This is not to say all non-mediated divorces are litigious. In fact, nothing is further from the truth: the entire legal process, starting with the California Family Code, promotes and supports the settlement process.

Divorce
Divorce mediation is really about the two spouses deciding their own dissolution issues and what is best for their family all the while avoiding contentious court litigation. Through this process, your mediator assists you in working through the issues so that the two of you may end your marriage in a non-litigious and amicable manner. This is not to say all non-mediated divorces are litigious. In fact, nothing is further from the truth: the entire legal process, starting with the California Family Code, promotes and supports the settlement process.
Child Support
The basic purpose of child support is to provide for the needs of the child. This is not limited to direct expenses for items such as food, clothing, school and entertainment. Child support may also be used at the discretion of the receiving parent for anything including housing, utilities, transportation, and much more.
Child Custody and Visitation
The word “mediation” refers to multiple issues in family law. If you wish to read about the Family Court Service Mediation for child custody and visitation, please click the link to FCS Mediation. This page addresses the subject of mediated dissolution of marriage proceedings.
Premarital Agreement
A postnuptial agreement is a legally enforceable contract between spouses entered into after marriage. It is similar to a premarital agreement (pre-nup) except that it is executed during the marriage.
Guardianship
If the Decedent Had Minor Children: If both parents are deceased, it may be necessary to move forward quickly. Be sure to look for any Guardianship Nomination the Decedent may have and/or a Will with Guardianship Nomination language. A Guardian is a non-parent who is appointed by the Court to care for minor children and/or to manage a minor’s assets. A guardianship of the estate will likely be required if the Decedent left assets directly to a minor child.
Spousal Support
The amount of spousal support, commonly known as “alimony”, to be paid (or received) is often one of the most important issues in a divorce action. How much must I pay (will I receive)? What will the duration of spousal support payments be? The law creates criteria and parameters for determination of spousal support. However, two different judges might reach different decisions after considering the law.
Legal Separation
So what are the differences between legal separation and divorce? First and foremost, legal separation (unlike divorce) requires an agreement of the parties. If there is no agreement, the paperwork filed with the court changes either to a divorce action or the parties drop the case altogether. In California, a divorce requires a 6 month waiting period from the time the documents are served (delivered) to the other spouse before the court grants a divorce. Legal separation can happen immediately. Additionally, a person who was legally separated may not remarry, since continue to be legally married.

Restraining Order
Domestic violence is a very serious charge and is not to be taken lightly. When violence or the threat of violence accompanies a divorce or any other family law dispute, a restraining order may become necessary. Whether you have suffered domestic violence or are the alleged perpetrator, the attorneys at Hyden-Zakheim have a great deal of experience in this difficult area.

Immigration Law

Citizenship and Naturalization
So, you would like to become a US Citizen? Congratulations! There are several options for immigrants to become naturalized citizens. The following are the two most common categories.
Student Visas
Work Visas
Yes, your children may attend public elementary and secondary schools. However, neither your spouse nor your children may work. An L-2 visa may be subject to a change of status to another non-immigrant employment visa if proper qualifications are met.

Personal Injury
I have had the pleasure of growing up and living all my life in the Bay Area. Over the years I have seen Northern California transform from a group of small cities to a multi-cultural metropolis. The growth and development of this unique area has played an important role in the way I practice law. Since 1986 I have provided legal counsel in a variety of areas to an ever emergent population. My approach to the practice of law is as distinctive as my clients: 1) Clearly identify the Client's legal problem, 2) Strategize with the Client to determine the most effective and least expensive approach to solving the Client's problem, 3) Attempt to resolve the problem informally outside of Court, 4) If informal resolution of the Client's problem is impossible, aggressively represent the Client in court proceedings, while protecting the Client and resolving the Client's problem.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
If you have a question regarding probate, incapacity, estate planning, trusts, or the recent death of a loved one, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We have added new, additional functioning to allow for remote, web-based meetings and consultations. If you have a computer, tablet, or phone with internet access we can now offer web-based meetings so that you can continue to shelter in place but also get the answers you may need at this time. If you do not have a computer, tablet, or phone with internet access and have telephone access, we can also schedule a teleconference.
Wills
Trusts
Next, the Executor, Administrator, and/or Trustee must determine if there are any assets that are required to be probated. Please note that assets with an effective beneficiary designation do not pass subject to probate (for example, a retirement account or a bank account with a designated beneficiary). Assets titled in the name of a Trust do not pass according to probate but are managed by the Trustee and are subject to Trust Administration and the Trustee will manage these assets. Assets held in joint tenancy or community property with right of survivorship when there is a surviving co-owner do not pass subject to probate (for example, an automobile held in joint ownership or a home held in joint tenancy) but pass according to operation of law (although documents are required to be recorded or processed to remove the Decedent from title). Please note that if title is held as Tenants in Common or in individual ownership, the Decedent’s asset passes according to the probate rules if the real property was not held in a trust or does not have an effective pay on death beneficiary designation.
Power of Attorney
We represent a variety of clients, including individuals, trustees, executors, administrators, private professional fiduciaries, agents under durable powers of attorney, heirs, and beneficiaries.
Probate
I have been associated with Hyden Zakheim, LLP since March 2016. Prior to joining Hyden Zakheim, LLP, I was a parnter at Trust & Probate Law Group for nine years. Before joining Trust & Probate Law Group, I practiced in the areas of global stock planning, international corporate structuring, business entity formation, venture financing and corporate governance, including human resource, real property, and tax matters.

Foreclosure
Sometimes there are circumstances present which necessitate that you act quickly and you cannot wait the several weeks or months for a hearing date for an appointment hearing. Examples of circumstances warranting Special Administration include, but are not limited to (every estate is different), danger of foreclosure of real property, the need to manager or operate rental properties or a business, and substantial risk of loss to the estate or special concerns of dependent family members. The process for petitioning for Special Administration is different from the general probate and are initially heard on an ex parte basis. Each county has different rules as to how ex parte hearings are held and the local rules should be carefully reviewed prior to petition. Notice is required to be given to the persons indicated on page 4 of the Petition for Probate but there are different rules in place due to the shortened time lines. A Court will only grant a Petition for Special Administration if there is compelling reason to do which is clearly demonstrated in the Petition. The powers granted to a personal representative under Special Administration are more restricted than in a general probate. Additional powers may be granted depending on the circumstances and necessity. The time frame for authority to act under Special Administration will expire on the date Letters are issued for the general probate or a sooner time as indicated by the Court. If a petition is denied for Special Administration, a hearing date may be set by the Court. Petitioning for Special Administration is tricky and consulting with an attorney is highly recommended if you have any circumstances which require quick action by a personal representative.
