Canaday Jim R Law Office Of

Divorce
If you and your former spouse cannot agree on the terms of your divorce, you must proceed with a contested divorce, in which the California court will determine the significant matters relating to the ending of your marriage. In a contested divorce, it is crucial to have an experienced lawyer fighting for your rights and presenting arguments on your behalf.
Child Support
After experiencing what havoc an inexperienced and unprofessional family attorney could have on my family, I was relieved to find Mr. Canaday through a colleague referral. Not only was he generous with his time and vast professional knowledge, I felt he truly cared about the outcome of the child support and custody matters he represented me in. Although family matters in court are never easy because no one ever truly wins and the children always lose in bitter feuds between parents. The "war" that was waged against me was better fought with Mr. Canaday's ethical representation in my corner.
Child Custody and Visitation
Grandparent rights are complicated and requires an understanding of the law and how the facts apply to the law. Grandparent visitation cases are usually contested proceeding since one or both parents may object to the petition. In Grandparent visitation cases, the grandparent is interfering with the fundamental rights of a parent, which is a sensitive area of law and fact.
Paternity
If you’re ever facing a situation where you need to prove or refute paternity, you’ll need an experienced paternity attorney by your side to help win your case. The Law Office of Jim R. Canaday have been helping Bakersfield families for years with their paternity cases. Call today at
Premarital Agreement
The purpose of a marital settlement agreement is to compile a comprehensive document that will be legally binding for both spouses. This is why so many different factors must be decided upon. In some cases, spouses must have a prenuptial agreement which may make this agreement easier to form, but even without a prenuptial agreement, a marital settlement agreement can be reached without having to go to court. An experienced attorney can help explain this process in detail.
Guardianship
Termination of Parental Right cases are usually filed by a custodial parent or guardian. Parental rights are fundamental rights and are protected under the United States Constitution. Terminating parental rights requires a thorough understanding of the California Family Code as well as the complex case law on the issue. If one parent has failed to bond with the minor (support, communicate or identify with the child), or if a Guardianship has been in place for the required period, that parent risks having their parental rights terminated.
Spousal Support
Spousal Support – Just like straight couples, gay & lesbian couples may establish spousal support payments when they terminate their marriages. However, alimony can be financially detrimental because it is not tax-deductible, according to federal law. Like property division, alimony payments will be perceived as a gift or capital gain by the federal government, making support payments subject to federal taxes. A legal representative can help you avoid financial pitfalls.
Legal Separation
California is considered a community property state, which means the law presumes that all property acquired during the marriage is owned equally by both spouses/domestic partners. Upon legal separation or divorce, a couple’s assets are divided to ensure that each spouse receives approximately one-half of the community estate. When a couple gets married in California, they are creating a “community” together defined by California law.
Annulment
If you have been married, and you’ve come to realize that the marriage was a mistake based on facts that weren’t necessarily true, then you may be able to obtain an annulment rather than endure a lengthy divorce proceeding. An annulment essentially declares the marriage null and void, while a divorce dissolves the marriage entirely. At Canaday Family Law, we have helped Kern County clients achieve the results that they need; find out Canaday Family Law can put our years of experience to work for your Kern County Annulment.

Misdemeanors
Violation of a protection order can be treated in one of three ways: as a felony, misdemeanor, or contempt of court. Felony charges are typically reserved for either repeat or serious violations. Sometimes violations are considered contempt of court.
Assault
Authorities in Bakersfield and surrounding areas take reports of domestic violence very seriously. Without legal representation, victims of domestic assault may find it challenging to take advantage of the legal protections available to them, including restraining orders. Conversely, those accused of an act of domestic assault may face serious immediate consequences, before any determination of guilt or innocence.
Restraining Order
Survivors of domestic violence have several civil and criminal protection or restraining order options to protect themselves from further abuse. Although these orders won’t stop an abuser from hurting a victim, they permit the victim to call the police and have the abuser arrested if the order is ever violated.
