When you are facing a divorce, complex property dispute, custody matter, or other family law issue, choosing the right Los Angeles family lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Family law matters often involve substantial financial interests, difficult personal decisions, and issues that can affect your family for years to come.
Atighechi Law Group is a boutique family law firm based in Beverly Hills, California, serving clients throughout Los Angeles County. Maryam Atighechi is a Certified Family Law Specialist and experienced trial attorney who represents clients in sophisticated and high-conflict family law matters, including divorce, property division, spousal support, child custody, and prenuptial agreements.
With a background in civil litigation and extensive experience in family law, Ms. Atighechi approaches each case with a focus on careful preparation, strategic advocacy, and achieving the best possible result for her client.
Family law cases are rarely limited to a single issue. A divorce, for example, may involve the division of real estate, investment accounts, business interests, retirement assets, cryptocurrency, or other significant property, as well as claims for spousal support and disputes concerning custody and parenting time.
An experienced Los Angeles family law attorney can help you understand your rights, identify the issues that require attention, and develop a strategy based on the specific facts of your case.
Atighechi Law Group represents clients in a range of California family law matters, including:
Divorce can become particularly complicated when the parties have substantial assets, separate-property claims, businesses, significant income differences, or disagreements concerning the characterization and division of property.
California is a community property state, but determining what constitutes community property, separate property, or a combination of the two can require careful analysis. The date of acquisition, source of funds, tracing, agreements between the spouses, and the treatment of an asset during the marriage can all become important.
A Los Angeles divorce attorney can help address issues such as:
For clients with significant or complicated assets, preparation is particularly important. The goal is not simply to divide what is immediately visible, but to understand the complete financial picture and protect the client’s legal and financial interests.
High-asset divorces often require a different level of preparation than a straightforward dissolution.
A marital estate may include multiple residences, investment portfolios, closely held businesses, professional practices, stock options, retirement accounts, cryptocurrency, or other sophisticated assets. Determining the value and characterization of these assets can become one of the most important aspects of the case.
Atighechi Law Group represents clients in complex financial matters involving the identification, characterization, valuation, and division of marital assets.
When appropriate, the firm works with financial professionals and other experts to investigate and analyze complicated financial issues.
One of the most significant aspects of a California divorce is determining how the parties’ property and debts should be divided.
Not every asset acquired during a marriage is necessarily divided in the same manner, and disputes frequently arise concerning whether property is community or separate, how an asset should be valued, and whether one spouse is entitled to reimbursement or an equalization payment.
Atighechi Law Group handles property division matters involving:
A careful analysis of the financial history of an asset can be critical to protecting your interests.
Spousal support can have a substantial financial impact on both parties following separation or divorce.
California courts consider numerous factors when determining whether spousal support should be ordered and, if so, the appropriate amount and duration. These issues can become particularly complex when the parties have significantly different incomes, substantial assets, a long-term marriage, or disputed earning capacity.
Atighechi Law Group assists clients with issues involving both the payment and receipt of spousal support, including the negotiation and litigation of support claims.
When children are involved, custody and parenting-time disputes require careful attention to the children’s needs and the circumstances of the family.
Atighechi Law Group represents parents in disputes involving legal custody, physical custody, parenting schedules, holidays, decision-making, and other custody-related issues.
The firm approaches custody matters with the understanding that parenting disputes can be among the most emotionally difficult aspects of a family law case. Effective advocacy requires both careful preparation and a clear understanding of the legal issues affecting the family.
A prenuptial agreement can provide couples with clarity concerning their financial rights and obligations before marriage.
Atighechi Law Group represents individuals seeking carefully drafted and enforceable California prenuptial agreements, including agreements addressing separate and community property, income, debt, businesses, real estate, and spousal support.
Because California imposes specific requirements concerning the enforceability of prenuptial agreements, experienced legal counsel is important when negotiating and preparing a prenup.
Although Atighechi Law Group is located in Beverly Hills, the firm represents clients throughout Los Angeles County.
Clients may come to the firm from communities throughout the Los Angeles area, including:
Your attorney’s physical office location does not determine whether you can retain the firm to represent you. If your matter falls within the firm’s geographic and practice-area parameters, a Beverly Hills family lawyer may represent you in a family law matter elsewhere in Los Angeles County.
