Our Los Angeles Family Law Firm can help and guide you through the divorce process.

Call us to schedule a consultation today.

If you are in California and are a victim of being with either a cheater or the Ashley Madison hack then our Los Angeles family law firm and family lawyers can help you. 

What is Ashley Madison?  Ashley Madison is an online dating site meant for individuals in marriages who are looking to have a secretive affair. The release of all names of Ashley Madison members has now placed millions in a position contemplating a divorce. Here is some advice for those victims of the Ashley Madison Hack:

1. California is a “No Fault” state, this means that the State of California does not hear evidence pertaining to adultery, affairs or emotional distressing stemming from cheating when deciphering important issues such as child custody, support or dissolution of assets and debts.

2. You do not need to prove the adultery in order to get a divorce. This cheating would fall under the category of “irreconcilable differences” when finding cause of petition for divorce and the court does not hear any evidence pertaining to the cheating nor would it find it relevant.

3. Can you get restitution from Ashley Madison for putting up the website? Most likely, no. There would be no grounds for which someone could sue Ashley Madison.  Unless the site guaranteed that it was hack proof, which I doubt it did, then the perpetrators do not have a claim. The victims would not have a claim either as it is just a forum designed for what is morally wrong but not necessarily legally wrong.

4. My advice for anyone whose husband or wife was on the Ashley Madison site and presumably cheating or attempting to cheat is to decipher whether your marriage is over at that point. Call a Los Angeles divorce attorney such as Maryam Atighechi, Esq.  Our Los Angeles Family Lawyers will assess your options pertaining to any child custody, support or dissolution of assets and debt issues. Once you have consulted with an attorney who is knowledgeable in family law you can make an informed decision as to whether divorce is the right option for you.

She handled my complicated, high conflict custody battle like a pro!

I hired Maryam for my very high conflict and complicated custody battle. She took an emotional, dreadful, and exasperating experience, handled it with expertise, professionalism, and calmness that made it possible for me to be calm and believe that everything would work out. Everything did work out, and I’m SO THANKFUL for her. She’s sharp, smart, confident, and a fighter, all while being reasonable and not making a complicated situation worse. I would HIGHLY recommend her. The best experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. Not for one moment did I ever feel like I was just a paycheck to her, and she was worth every penny. Thank you Maryam, you were awesome!

Excellent and Aggressive Attorney!

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.

Attorney with compassion and conviction.

I really am not sure how I found Maryam originally, but I’m so glad that I did. My divorce and custody battle dragged out for over two years, but in the end I have full custody of my children and have been able to move on with my life. Divorce is emotionally difficult, but having Maryam navigate the legal waters made the whole situation easier. I highly recommend her if you need an attorney who will help you work through your family law matters with compassion and conviction.

I have had a few lawyers in the past 12 years and honestly lost faith in them until I met Maryam. She is absolutely AMAZING! She treats you like your family and makes sure she listens and answers all questions.  Her number one concern is what’s the best decision to be made during some hard times for families. Maryam is respectful of your feelings and helps you make the correct decision for you and your family.  I wish I would have found her years ago! This would have saved me lots grief and money.  She doesn’t want to take advantage of her clients by dragging things out, she gets the job done right and quick. I totally recommend her services to everyone and trust her to fight for my family always! Thank you Maryam for being honest, reliable, and taking care of my family!

A Guardian Angel

There has been no question. My child custody case has been the most trying, exhaustive and draining experience of my life. Apart from the light of my child, there has really been only one other bright spot to the whole experience. Maryam. I never (ever!) expected such compassion in hired legal counsel. Alternately, she has never sugar coated the situation and has been my leader, inspiration and true guide on a very complex and time consuming journey. She has put me to work, and the work has been hard. But her very matter-of-fact approach to why, and her ability to set the example and pace by working so incredibly hard herself, kept me going. As hard as this has all been, I can’t imagine how devastating it would have all felt without this very rare and special person making me feel like they are in my corner from a very genuine place. Words escape me to properly express my gratitude for the fact that lawyers like this really are out there, while rare to find. She’s never cut corners with her efforts and never lost patience with me during a very scattered and overwhelming time in my life. She has gone above and beyond for me, to the point of pleasant surprise which is something I so desperately needed going through this! We had a long, extensive child custody trial and she worked brilliantly both in and out of court to reach an outcome in our favor. Again, I’m at a loss to express my gratitude for her world class efforts so instead, I’ll recommend her from the most honest place in my heart.
