Marriages of ten years or more are treated as long duration in California, so the court keeps jurisdiction over spousal support indefinitely, and retirement division becomes the financial center of the case. Splitting pensions and 401(k)s requires dedicated orders, which we prepare alongside the judgment.

Coastal property is valued and divided like any community asset, but scarcity changes the math: a licensed short-term rental cannot simply be replaced, so buyout pricing and income history both matter. Careful property division work, with accurate appraisals, keeps those negotiations grounded in verified numbers.

Predictable pricing, direct attorney access, and experience with retirement-heavy, high-equity estates. The office sits minutes away, consultations are free, and cases stay discreet, which matters in a town this size. You get patient explanations and a clear number before anything begins.

A trust-based estate planning package, coordinated with any prenuptial agreements, keeps children from prior marriages and a current spouse both protected.
