California Grounds for Divorce
No-fault divorce has been adopted by the State of California. A California divorce does not require any allegations of fault.

"When I say they are the BEST, believe me they are!"Christian is the best! He helped me in a very difficult custody situation. My son was getting physically abused. It was so difficult to see the court system not trying to protect my son. But Christian never gave up and fought for my son like he was his own. I will forever be grateful to him and his Wonderful paralegal Jana. So when I say they are the BEST, believe me they are! My son is now out of harms way because of Christian never giving up. So don't waste your time on other attorneys that will not care for the BEST interest of your child. You cannot put a price on peace of mind.Angie

"Thank you Christian. And to the staff, thank you All for always being such a pleasure. You are such a wonderful Team."Christian Scott came highly recommended. From our first consultation together back in 2019 I knew I would be in good hands. It has been a long journey together. Despite all the difficulties and never ending battles with my case, I have always been able to trust that Mr. Scott has and continues to do what is in the best interest of my case. He has always listened, takes into consideration what I've presented, yet still offers his own recommendations and guidance that is based on his many years of experience. Offering his open, fair, honest and genuine realistic input has been been like having a family member fight for you when you have needed it in the lowest times of your life.Cynthia G.
