Passionately Helping Clients Protect What Matters Most

Not Your Average Silicon Valley Family Law Firm

Last updated on September 14, 2026

Silicon Valley Law Offices (SVLO) offers skilled representation in all aspects of family law. We have extensive experience assisting clients with divorce cases and related issues such as spousal support, child support, child custody, and visitation.

Founded in 2012 by a lawyer who sought a different approach to helping clients, SVLO was built around having the most competent and compassionate group of attorneys and legal staff dedicated to family law and estate planning issues.  Our attorneys work as a team and have expertise in the various aspects of family law; our senior attorneys have 30, 25, and 15 years of experience, plus a California Bar Certified Family Law Specialist attorney with 18 years of family law experience.  When you are seeking an attorney, experience matters. 

SVLO’s team approach also shapes how we work. When you retain our firm, you pay for one attorney, but benefit from the counsel of several lawyers with experience in the areas that matter most to your case. Our offices are in Mountain View and Los Gatos (by appointment only). Contact us today at 650-546-7595 or via email to discuss your case.

Our Bay Area Family Law Services

Family law, as a practice, encompasses a wide array of issues, which may include:

  • Prenuptial agreements: A prenuptial agreement is a contract signed before marriage that details how spouses will divide assets and debts if the marriage ends. California law requires a seven-day waiting period before the parties sign, giving both time to seek legal counsel.
  • Postnuptial agreements: Postnuptial agreements serve the same purpose as prenuptial agreements, but are signed after the wedding. Cohabitation agreements serve a similar function for long-term, unmarried partners. Both types of agreements create clarity and protection around each party’s finances.
  • High-asset divorce: In the Bay Area, divorces often involve startup equity, restricted stock units (RSUs), closely held businesses and significant real estate. This is where having a highly experienced attorney matters most.  Our attorneys can build a legal strategy that accounts for the full scope of your marital estate.
  • Complex property division: In California, assets and debts acquired during marriage are split equally between spouses. Determining what counts as marital property, versus what belongs solely to one spouse, is often the most contested part of a divorce. Our attorneys work with financial professionals and appraisers to trace assets and address complex situations involving real estate, retirement accounts, and business interests.
  • Divorce mediation services: Mediation is an alternative to a divorce trial. It offers efficiency, privacy and a less adversarial process. Both parties can reach a mutually agreeable resolution with the help of a neutral mediator.
  • Child custody and visitation issues: Child custody and visitation needs weigh on parents’ minds. We help families develop plans that prioritize the best interests of the child and facilitate cooperative parenting arrangements.
  • Child support issues: We assist with the initial determination of child support, modifications, and enforcement of child support orders. SVLO has a child support attorney with more than 20 years of experience working for the department of child support as their lead attorney; having an attorney with a high level of experience in this area, will help ensure that support amounts ordered are fair and in line with state guidelines, as well as do well advocating for adjustments as circumstances change.
  • Spousal support (alimony): Spousal support is a post-divorce payment from one spouse to the other. Our attorneys represent both payors and recipients on all related matters, including initial determinations, modifications, enforcement, and termination.
  • Domestic violence restraining orders (DVRO): This area requires a highly trained and experienced family law attorney. Our clients notice the difference immediately, as our attorneys regularly handle DVRO cases and know how to properly advise and protect our clients.
  • Annulments: An annulment is a court ruling that a marriage never legally existed. Unlike divorce, it takes effect immediately. California grants annulments on specific grounds, including bigamy, fraud, coercion, underage marriage, and physical incapacity.

This is not an exhaustive list. If you are facing an issue with your spouse or family that is not listed here, please reach out to us for a consultation.

Every family is different and has unique needs. Our attorneys are committed to providing a personalized approach to every client. We will listen closely to understand your needs and perspective and then work hard to achieve an amicable resolution for your specific case. We even have a trained therapy dog on staff who is hypo-allergenic and is regularly called in to meetings by our clients.
