Welcome to our Desert Dissolution and Family Law Blog!
The aim of our Desert Dissolution and Family Law Blog is to provide free information to people throughout southern California who are seeking guidance as they evaluate their options before making decisions about divorce and dissolution, legal separation, annulments, and other family law proceedings.
We are especially interested in helping middle aged and older adults whose break ups involve complex family law issues or high conflict. For that reason we intend to publish information in this Blog that is focused more on complicated legal issues that attorneys generally do not openly discuss elsewhere.
We have another older site containing a wealth of information that may also be of use to you: www.ThurmanArnold.com. You can use the search engine at the upper right corner of each of our sites to quickly find any topic we have written about.
