Tobie is a practical and dedicated professional aimed at providing her clients with cost-effective solutions to their legal problems.

Biography
Providing high quality legal representation to a wide range of clients throughout the greater Los Angeles area since 1993. I offer reasonable and highly competitive hourly rates where applicable. Prenuptial Agreements and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO) are expertly prepared for one flat fee. The best interests of the children are the focus of the courts and of my law practice. Once your family law matter has resolved, you will not be abandoned. If modifications of any support, child custody or visitation orders are needed in the future, contact my office to reopen your file. I was recently asked what types of medical malpractice cases I am willing to take. My answer? I take good cases. Unlike most other personal injury lawyers, I get the records reviewed by a qualified expert up front before any letters are sent or any case is filed. If I agree to take your case it's because I know it's good and I can make you money.

Legal Answers
792 Questions Answered
- Q. filed RFO 2 Modify custody, mediation date given.Ex filed RFO affter,How many days b4 mediation do papers have 2 b serve
- A: The deadline for service of a Request for Order is 16 court days (plus 5 calendar days for service by USPS) prior to the hearing date on that Request for Order. The service deadline is not related to the date of your mediation. The fact that she failed to serve you with a blank Responsive Declaration doesn't invalidate her motion. She must still file a Responsive Declaration to your motion and you still have to file a Responsive Declaration to her motion.
- Q. If ex and I settle for child support payment less than what the "courts" would dictate can she in the future void this
- A: It's not a matter of voiding the agreement. What either party can do is seek a modification of the agreement or otherwise get a court order for a different amount of child support. What the court "dictates" is known as "guideline support". It's the law. If you and the other parent come to your own agreement that is not filed with the court, there is no guarantee that that agreement cannot later on be modified, adjusted or terminated by replacement with a valid court order.
- Q. My ex wife for 4 years has been living with her boyfriend for over a year and another before that. Alimony? California
- A: It's not a "correction". The fact of her cohabitation is grounds for modification of an existing spousal support order if the cohabitant has income and that income is used to contribute to the household expenses/cost of living expenses. It is not relevant to child support however. Her parenting time (percentage), on which child support was based, may be grounds for modification of your existing child support orders.
