Family Law Services for Cupertino Clients


Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce can change every part of life — finances, family relationships, and personal stability. As a Cupertino divorce attorney, Attorney Chau understands how each decision can shape your future. Working closely with clients, he clarifies marital and separate property, addresses real estate and asset division, and negotiates settlements that support long-term stability.


Child Custody and Visitation

Custody issues are emotional and deeply personal. Parents work with Attorney Chau to create balanced, child-centered parenting plans that reduce conflict and provide predictability. When court involvement is required, he offers steady, experienced representation at the Santa Clara County Family Justice Center.


Child and Spousal Support

Support orders must be practical and fair. Using accurate financial data and California guidelines, he builds sustainable outcomes that reflect your real circumstances.


Property Division and High-Asset Divorce

Many Cupertino families work in Silicon Valley’s technology sector, where stock options, deferred compensation, and business interests can complicate divorce. With deep experience in property division, Attorney Chau ensures all assets are valued correctly and settlements remain equitable.


Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement

Life doesn’t pause after a court order. The firm assists clients in modifying or enforcing existing custody, support, or visitation orders to keep them fair as family needs evolve.


Mediation and Alternative Resolution

For clients who prefer to avoid courtroom litigation, Attorney Chau provides mediation services that encourage collaboration and preserve privacy while protecting legal rights.
