Matthew Skarin was straightforward, honest, and gave us practical, no-nonsense advice regarding our prenuptial agreement. He genuinely puts his clients first and made me feel supported every step of the way. Unlike some other law firms, Matthew took the time to ensure I was taken care of and handled the matter with the urgency it deserved. I’m incredibly grateful for his responsiveness, professionalism, and guidance. I highly recommend Matthew Skarin to anyone looking for an attorney who truly has their clients’ best interests at heart.

My experience with Skarin law was amazing. I have been dealing with spousal and child support issues for 25 years and handful of lawyers. Anni at Skarin law made my wife and I feel like family or a close friend that truly wanted to help us. Anni was thorough and well prepared with my case and left no rock unturned.I am happy to say that I may potentially have closure to all the drama I have been dealing with all these years and I can enjoy all my adult children and 6 grandchildren in peace. Thank you Anni and thank you Matthew my wife and I are so grateful we found you guys.

Alex was the absolute best! I was initially a little nervous and unsure about my case. However, she was so welcoming, encouraging, super knowledgeable, and helped explain the process and what needed to be done. She was very communicative and never made me feel silly for asking questions or following up with her on my case. Cannot thank you enough, Alex! Will definitely be recommending her and this firm to friends and family in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about Adrienne, the paralegal at this law office. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and professional, while also being kind and patient throughout the entire process. Adrienne made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable by clearly explaining each step, staying on top of every detail, and keeping me consistently informed. Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always took the time to answer my questions and address any concerns. What truly stood out was how much she genuinely cares—she treats you like more than just a case. Adrienne is a huge asset to the team, and I highly recommend working with her. Five stars without hesitation!

She was knowledgeable and didn't let me get steamrolled by my ex. Her advice, guidance and wisdom is the reason I won my case. Thank you Anni! Although I hope I don't need you any time soon, I honestly look forward to working with you and your firm again.

Never having dealt with the legal system before, I was terrified. That coupled with the reason I was having to deal with family court in the first place was more than I thought I could handle. Erin was great every step of the way. From explaining the process to the empathy for my situation, I am grateful to have had Erin represent me and by my side during such a difficult time.

Due Diligence and sourcing attorney services is a very tedious, and in my case, a very unexpected endeavor. When I came across Skarin Law Group, I felt a natural fit based on the high level of customer service. Adrienne C., who assisted me over the phone, was very professional and highly knowledgeable in guiding and answering key questions I had. It was very important to me to have a seamless and as frictionless interaction with my representation during this time. I look forward to continuing on with the firm and feel very confident about the likelihood of a positive outcome for my family!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In California, child support is calculated using a state-mandated formula that considers both parents' incomes, the percentage of time each parent spends with the child, and any tax liabilities or credits. The calculation also accounts for health insurance expenses, mandatory retirement contributions, and support for children from other relationships. This approach aims to balance the financial contributions of both parents fairly, so that the child's needs are met while considering the financial ability of each parent.
  • Property division during a divorce follows the community property law, which means that any assets and debts acquired during the marriage are considered owned equally by both spouses and are divided equally in the divorce. Separate property, which includes assets owned before marriage or acquired as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, generally remains with the original owner. The court aims to ensure a fair and equitable division of all marital assets and debts, taking into account factors such as the economic circumstances of each spouse.
  • Yes, spousal support can be modified after the divorce is final in California, but certain conditions must be met. Modifications are generally considered if there has been a significant change in circumstances for either party, such as a substantial change in income, unemployment, or a serious health issue. The party seeking the modification needs to file a motion with the court and provide evidence of the change in circumstances. The court will then review the case and decide whether an adjustment to the spousal support is justified.
  • Legal custody refers to a parent's right and responsibility to make significant decisions about a child's health, education, and welfare. This includes decisions about schooling, medical care, and religious upbringing. Physical custody, on the other hand, pertains to where the child lives and with whom. A parent with physical custody has the child living with them for most of the time, though this can be shared in a joint physical custody arrangement where the child spends significant time with both parents. Both types of custody can be awarded jointly or solely, depending on what the court deems is in the best interest of the child.
  • In California, a prenuptial agreement can include provisions for the division of property and assets, the rights and obligations of each spouse regarding property, management of household bills and expenses, and the distribution of property upon separation, divorce, or death. Spousal support terms can also be included but must not be unconscionable at the time of enforcement. However, a prenuptial agreement cannot include terms that affect child custody or child support decisions. These matters are determined by the court based on the child's best interests at the time of the divorce. Additionally, prenuptial agreements cannot contain clauses that promote divorce or violate public policy, such as penalties for gaining weight or stipulations on personal behavior.
