Family Lawyer in San Diego County | Goforth Family Law & Mediation

Compassionate Family Law Guidance For You

As a family law attorney, I know mutual understanding can go a long way in solving familial issues. It’s why I work hard to understand the unique situation you, your family or relationships are in.

Throughout San Diego County, I offer my clients 20 years of experience with all manner of challenges facing families today. Another important solution I provide, equally as powerful as my commitment to understanding, is making formal legal agreements and setting shared expectations to help plan what the future may hold for all involved.

Making Important Agreements Before And After Marriage

At Goforth, I am trusted for my fair and compassionate approach to premarital and postmarital agreements. I believe every couple should make these very personal preparations for important life milestones, to set clear expectations together and protect any plans differing from the impersonal standards set forth by California state laws.

Prenups can go a long way in keeping conflict to a minimum, and postnups are great for covering bases after you have entered into marriage. In drafting and reviewing these agreements, I help couples find solid footing on common ground in many matters of family law, including:

See What Our Clients Have to Say About Our Family Law and Mediation Services

I got lucky with a referral from a friend that re-directed me to Paula Goforth. My case was probably not that complicated, but became so with the obvious reason for requiring the services. The Goforth team held account to the letter of the law and it favored me, their team supported me and did it all rather expeditiously. So grateful for the initial meeting and everything in between down to the last invoice.

Paula's professionalism and experience helped me to minimize already extremely high stress level . Just during two meetings, we were able to resolve our divorce. There were no hidden or unexpected fees. I am really appreciative Pauls services.

Paula and her team have been nothing but the best! They are so responsive and helpful. I felt well informed and cared for every step of the way.

Paula and her team handled a somewhat complicated issue in a very expedient manner. They were well prepared, knowledgeable, and always responded promptly to questions I raised along the way, either by email or phone. I highly recommend this firm for your family law needs.
