Family Law & DivorceServices We Offer
At Van Voorhis & Sosna, we treat your family law matter like you are a member of our own family. We place a premium on acting with integrity, demonstrating our understanding of your particular situation and the law that governs it, and earning your trust.
Divorce/Dissolution
We know how difficult divorce can be. Our priority is helping you know your options and likely outcomes and navigate the best course for you and your future.
Child Custody
We keep the best interests of you and your child at the center of everything we do and every decision we recommend. We are a consistent advocate for our clients and their families’ needs and will help you negotiate your child custody arrangement both in and out of the court system.
Child Support
Our specialty is ensuring child support orders are fair and appropriate and considering the most complex elements of your financial picture.
Spousal Support/Alimony
Spousal support orders are one of the most complex elements of family law. Our years of experience will help you negotiate a support order or prepare you to litigate for a fair and appropriate award.
Registered Domestic Partnerships
Domestic partnerships are a relatively young area of family law with a lot of complexity. If you are considering a registered domestic partnership, speak to us about protecting your assets sensitively through a domestic partnership agreement.
LGBTQ Dissolutions
In the event of a termination of a domestic partnership, we can help guide you through this difficult time, reducing conflict and helping you make the best legal choices available to you.
Premarital/Prenuptial Agreements
Handled sensitively, premarital agreements can be a healthy tool for establishing an agreement about how certain financial matters will be dealt with during marriage, upon death, and in the event of a divorce. We are skilled at discussing these matters to secure your relationship, now and in the future.

Led by Certified Family Law Specialists
You deserve an attorney recognized by the state of California for their skill in the field, and someone who understands the complexities of family law, divorce, custody, and domestic partner dissolution.
Our partners are certified family law specialists, and the entire firm is dedicated to the practice of family law.
Multiple Avenues to Resolution
We frequently act as advising or consulting attorneys to clients participating in mediation consulting. We encourage clients to settle their disputes, and we don't get in the way of a mutual agreement.
Nevertheless, our experience has proven that vigorously preparing for a trial through strategic litigation often leads to a better, quicker settlement and prepares you for trial, if necessary.
