Family Law: At the law offices of Cho & Brown in Ventura, California, we encourage our clients to reach settlement agreements in matters such as divorce, child custody disputes and post-decree modifications.

• Divorce: It is always a good idea to talk to an attorney if divorce is a possibility. Actions that you take now with regard to your children, your home and your assets may have a major impact on the outcome of a divorce.
  
• Custody and Visitation: Normally, the courts assume that the goal will be a 49-51% division of time that children live with the two parents. However, the reality is very often different, for a number of reasons that we can discuss with you.
  
• Move-Away: A custodial parent's decision to move the family away can greatly impact all parties. Whether you need help applying for a move-away or would like to prevent your child's move, learn what we can do to help.
  
• Child Support: The state-mandated child support calculator takes into account each parent's income and expenses and the number of overnight stays a child will have with each parent. We will help ensure that the correct information is applied in determining the amount of child support owed.
  
• Spousal Support: Now that you and your spouse are heading for divorce, will the wage-earning spouse owe spousal support to the dependent spouse — and for how long? Discuss this and other topics pertaining to alimony with our attorneys.
  
• Asset Division: Just as property earned or purchased during the marriage is community property, so is the debt incurred during the marriage.
  
• Complex Property Division: We can help you divide your complex marital property such as a business, stocks or pensions.
  
• Divorce and Retirement: Division of retirement property such as 401K plans, annuities and pension assets has complex tax and personal results.
  
• Restraining Orders: Whether you need a temporary restraining order related to your divorce, or a permanent civil or criminal restraining order, we can help.
  

Mediation: At the law offices of Cho & Brown, we offer clients our service as mediators in legal disputes such as:

• Commercial disputes
  
• Personal injury
  
• Landlord-tenant disputes
  

Education Law: Your child's need for special education services is a high-stakes issue with long-term ramifications for his or her future.

Construction Law: We handle contractual disputes between tradesmen involving disagreements over performance or allegations of defects in remodeling, additions and new construction of single family homes, apartments or commercial buildings.
