"Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you."
It had been a long two years of waiting and frustrations in the hands of my previous lawyer to get the legal closure I needed to move forward with my post-divorce life. As anyone going through divorce knows, nothing about it is easy or enjoyable ... that is until I met Nicholas Montaño. As office manager and head paralegal at Embry Family Law, Nicholas took my call and ran with it. From the get-go, I felt supported and that I was in capable hands. Within a few weeks, I was happily divorced and all was finalized, even sooner than the court date assigned to my case. Throughout our [thankfully] short time working together, he showed compassion, empathy, and understanding. And I especially appreciated his effective and efficient communication, and willingness to go above and beyond with sensitivity to time. Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you.- Kathy D. (Google Review) -
"Extremely grateful to have Ben, Kaylin, and Nick on my side."
Ben, Kaylin, and Nick are an amazing team of knowledgeable professionals in family law. Their main focus is their client's and family member's wellbeing. They are calm and extremely experienced with custody orders. Not everyone can handle your stress and the chaos that you may have while going through the family law process, but this team gets the most difficult situation handled with care and full transparency and respect. Extremely grateful to have Ben, Kaylin, and Nick on my side. Highly recommend- Jenn W. (Facebook Review) -

How does California handle spousal support decisions?
In California, spousal support often depends on factors including the standard of living during the marriage, length of marriage, each spouse’s earning capacity, and contributions to the other's career or education. Judges may also review concerns such as domestic violence and its effect on earning power. Temporary spousal support may be granted while divorce proceedings are pending, though long-term support decisions require a broader review. Our San Diego family law attorneys can help you understand these issues and prepare for discussions about spousal support.
