Family Law: Real Life, Real Consequences

Family law is a very broad and, to be honest, an emotionally charged field. It’s not just about dividing assets, agreeing on visitation schedules, or making sure child support payments are made on time; it’s about understanding the emotional undercurrents, the life-changing decisions, and the deep personal stakes involved in family-related legal issues.

At Andy Cook Law, we know you need a compassionate but relentless advocate by your side — someone who can tackle the legalities without losing sight of the heart of the matter — your family. That’s why we approach every case with a combination of experience, empathy, and a deep commitment to protecting your rights.

Andy Cook is not just any lawyer; he’s a Certified Family Law Specialist — a title of mastery and proficiency that can only be granted by the State Bar of California. Becoming a CFLS requires years of focused family law practice, passing an intensive exam, and being vetted by judges and peers. This certification means Andy has the experience, knowledge, and insight that goes far above and beyond your typical family lawyer.

It also means that Andy knows not only the ins and outs of California law but also the kinds of strategies that are needed to steer decisions in your favor, and he can help you with everything from divorce and custody disputes to property division, employing a level of skill that puts him on the highest tier — and he’s ready to put that knowledge to work for you.

Types of Family Law Cases We Handle

When it comes to family law, no two cases are the same, as each family has its own dynamic, and every legal matter requires a personalized touch.

1. Divorce and legal separation. Divorce isn’t just about signing papers and moving on with your life; it’s about dividing assets, deciding on child custody, and determining spousal support. At Andy Cook Law, we work to make sure your divorce is as smooth as possible while protecting your interests every step of the way.
2. Child custody and support. When children are involved, it’s never just a legal matter — it’s an emotional one. That’s why child custody and support are two of the most contentious issues in family law. At Andy Cook Law, we work to make sure that your parental rights are respected and that any arrangements made are in the best interests of the child.
3. Spousal support. In California, spousal support can be a temporary or long-term obligation, and the amount and duration of spousal support can depend on many different things, like the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and each spouse’s earning capacity. Our goal is to make sure your support arrangement is fair and in line with your financial reality.
4. Property division. In California, property acquired during the marriage is considered community property, which means it’s usually divided equally, but things get tricky when it comes to deciding what’s considered community property versus separate property. Our team makes sure your assets are properly valued and divided according to the law.
5. Domestic violence and restraining orders. Protecting yourself and your family is of the utmost importance, so if you’ve been the victim of domestic abuse, you may need to get a restraining order. Andy Cook Law is here to provide you with the legal support and protection you need.

When you choose Andy Cook Law, you’re not just hiring a lawyer — you’re getting a partner who will be there with you every step of the way. We understand that family law can be emotionally overwhelming, which is why we make it a priority to keep you informed and empowered. You can count on us for clear communication, strategic advice, and dedicated support.
