Family Law Services for Saratoga Clients


Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce changes nearly every part of life — finances, family dynamics, and emotional stability. As a Saratoga divorce attorney, Attorney Chau helps clients navigate property division, support, and custody with strategy and compassion. He works to protect financial well-being and encourage peaceful resolutions whenever possible.


Child Custody and Visitation

Custody disputes require both structure and sensitivity. Parents collaborate with Attorney Chau to develop parenting plans that prioritize children’s best interests while minimizing conflict. When court involvement becomes necessary, he provides steady, experienced representation at the Santa Clara County Family Justice Center.


Child and Spousal Support

Support arrangements should be practical, fair, and transparent. Using verified financial data and California’s support formulas, the firm develops results that reflect each family’s real circumstances and promote long-term stability.


Property Division and High-Asset Divorce

Saratoga families often hold significant property, investments, or business interests. With extensive experience in property division, Attorney Chau ensures accurate valuation, full disclosure, and equitable distribution for even the most complex marital estates.


Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement

Life continues to evolve after divorce. The firm assists clients in modifying or enforcing existing custody, visitation, or support orders to ensure they remain fair and functional as families grow and change.


Mediation and Alternative Resolution

Litigation isn’t always necessary. For clients who prefer a cooperative, lower-conflict approach, Attorney Chau offers mediation services that promote privacy, mutual respect, and lasting resolutions while protecting your legal rights.
