Family Law Services for Milpitas Clients
Divorce reshapes nearly every aspect of life — finances, relationships, and emotional well-being. As a Milpitas divorce attorney, Attorney Chau helps clients clarify property rights, support obligations, and custody arrangements with strategic guidance and compassion. His approach protects long-term financial stability while encouraging peaceful, equitable resolutions.
Custody disputes require both structure and sensitivity. Parents collaborate with Attorney Chau to design parenting plans that support stability and prioritize their children’s best interests. When litigation becomes necessary, he provides steady, experienced representation at the Santa Clara County Family Justice Center.
Support arrangements should be fair, practical, and transparent. Using verified financial data and California’s legal framework, the firm builds solutions that reflect each family’s circumstances and promote long-term balance.
Property Division and High-Asset Divorce
Milpitas families often own valuable property, investments, or business assets. With deep experience in property division, Attorney Chau ensures accurate valuation, full disclosure, and equitable distribution for even the most complex estates.
Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement
Life changes after a judgment is entered. The firm assists clients in modifying or enforcing existing custody, visitation, or support orders to ensure they remain fair and effective as family needs evolve.

Court isn’t always the only path. For clients seeking a collaborative, lower-conflict process, Attorney Chau offers mediation services that emphasize privacy, respect, and durable solutions while safeguarding each client’s rights.
