Family Law Services for Sunnyvale Clients
Divorce can reshape every part of your life — finances, family relationships, and future stability. As a Sunnyvale divorce attorney, Attorney Chau understands how important each decision is. Working closely with clients, he clarifies marital and separate property, negotiates equitable settlements, and ensures that agreements protect long-term financial well-being.
Custody disputes require balance, structure, and sensitivity. Parents work with Attorney Chau to develop parenting plans that preserve stability and prioritize the child’s best interests. When court appearances become necessary, he provides steady, informed representation at the Santa Clara County Family Justice Center.
Support arrangements must reflect reality, not guesswork. Using verified financial data and California’s legal guidelines, the firm structures solutions that are fair, sustainable, and enforceable.
Property Division and High-Asset Divorce
Sunnyvale’s tech-driven economy often means complex marital estates — stock options, start-up equity, deferred compensation, or real property holdings. With extensive experience in property division, Attorney Chau ensures accurate valuation and fair distribution of all assets.
Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement
Life evolves after divorce. The firm assists clients in modifying or enforcing existing custody, visitation, and support orders to keep them equitable as circumstances change.
Mediation and Alternative Resolution
Litigation isn’t always necessary. For clients seeking a collaborative path, Attorney Chau offers mediation that promotes privacy, control, and mutual respect while safeguarding your legal rights.
