Every family is different, and so are the challenges they face. From divorce and legal separation to child custody or financial support issues, we provide legal solutions that meet your unique needs.
Atighechi Law Group represents a diverse range of clients throughout Orange County, including parents, professionals, and individuals with high-value estates. Whether your case is amicable or adversarial, simple or complex, we bring the same level of commitment and focus to each matter.
Our goal is to make sure you understand your rights, know your options, and feel supported every step of the way.
We provide comprehensive representation for a wide range of family law matters. Whether you’re ending a marriage or seeking to establish a parenting plan, we’ll help you protect what matters most.
Ending a marriage involves more than signing papers—it’s about making long-term decisions that affect your home, finances, and children. We represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorces throughout Orange County, guiding them through California’s legal process for dissolution of marriage.
We’ll help you address division of property, spousal support, and child-related concerns while advocating for a fair and stable resolution.
Legal separation may be the right option for couples who aren’t ready for divorce but want to live apart and protect their interests. Some clients pursue legal separation for financial, cultural, or religious reasons.
We can help you understand how legal separation differs from divorce and assist you in creating enforceable agreements that address property division, child custody, and support.
Few issues are more emotionally charged than custody. We help parents establish or modify custody arrangements that reflect the child’s best interests and ensure your parental rights are respected.
Our attorneys understand the nuances of physical and legal custody in California. Whether you’re developing a parenting plan or navigating a high-conflict dispute, we offer clear guidance and strong advocacy.
Child support is based on income, time-sharing, and the needs of the child. We work with parents to secure fair support orders that follow California guidelines and reflect the realities of each family’s situation.
If your financial situation changes or you believe the current order no longer serves your child’s needs, we can help you pursue or challenge a modification in court.
Family law matters require more than legal knowledge—they demand empathy, attention to detail, and strong advocacy. Atighechi law Group brings years of experience helping Orange County families through some of the most stressful moments of their lives.
We have in-depth knowledge of the Orange County court system, including the judges, mediators, and procedures specific to local family law cases. Whether you’re dividing assets, establishing custody, or drafting long-term agreements, we tailor our approach to fit your goals and priorities.

It depends on the complexity of the case and whether both parties agree. California requires a minimum six-month waiting period from the date the divorce petition is served, but many cases take longer due to disagreements or court scheduling.
Yes. Legal separation allows couples to live apart and divide property without ending the marriage. It can be a temporary or long-term alternative to divorce, depending on your situation.
The paying parent may face wage garnishment, license suspension, or contempt of court. We can help enforce a child support order or defend against one if you’ve experienced a change in circumstances.
To request a modification, you must show that there’s been a significant change in circumstances affecting the child’s well-being. A lawyer can help you file the proper motion and represent you during hearings.
Yes. In custody and visitation cases, parents are required to attend court-ordered mediation before trial. We prepare clients for mediation and advocate for parenting plans that meet both legal and personal goals.
In California, community property includes assets acquired during the marriage, while separate property includes anything owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance. During divorce, community property is typically split 50/50 unless the court finds a reason to deviate.
While it’s possible to file on your own, having an experienced Orange County Divorce and Family attorney helps ensure your paperwork is accurate, deadlines are met, and your rights are protected—especially when children, property, or support are involved.
Maryam was my divorce lawyer a few years ago. She is personable, punctual and got the job done… We got what we wanted in court as she fought hard for me and was aggressive. She filed all the paperwork that needed to be done on time and correctly. She was also very good at moral support in this tough period in my life but that was just a benefit of using her. I have also called her for legal advice a few times since and she always gave me good legal advice.
