Sacramento Divorce Lawyer Melissa D. Cianci

At the Roseville Law Office of Melissa D. Cianci, A Professional Corporation, we focus our practice exclusively on California divorce and the many family law matters related to divorce. We are dedicated to a philosophy of sound, client-centered legal representation.

The Successful Divorce

Sacramento divorce attorney Melissa Cianci will advise and represent you with caring and compassion at every step of your divorce. To discuss your legal concerns with an experienced divorce lawyer in an initial consultation (with discounted fee), contact the Law Office of Melissa D. Cianci at (916) 797-1575.

In her experience as a divorce lawyer, Melissa Cianci has come to believe that calm, rational negotiations are often more likely to result in fair and equitable marital settlement agreements. Nevertheless, it is always best to be prepared for trial in the event that settlement discussions become unworkable.

Whether a divorce settlement is best for you or we take your case to trial, Attorney Cianci will advocate for you and protect your interests from beginning to end.

Client-Centered Legal Advice for Divorcing Couples

At the Law Office of Melissa D. Cianci, A Professional Corporation, we help our clients develop a solid, working understanding of the divorce process and all of the related issues, such as marital property division; child custody, visitation, parenting plans, and custodial plans; child support; spousal support; and later modifications to court orders and agreements. Our goal is to ensure that our clients understand their legal options and are comfortable making informed decisions about these important issues.

California law governing dissolution of marriage and divorce is extremely complex. An attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in California law can help ensure that your process goes smoothly. Quality legal advice can help you avoid common mistakes and navigate problem areas, such as issues involving the division of substantial marital assets (including businesses, investments, retirement plans, and real estate).

Keep Your Divorce Civil

Try to avoid affixing blame for the failure of the marriage. California is a "no-fault" state. This means the reasons for the divorce are legally irrelevant. It is highly unlikely that you and your spouse will agree on the reasons. So, just try to accept the fact that there are reasons, and move on. Do not waste time and energy rehashing everything and trying to win that final argument over who was really at fault.

Your New Relationship with Your Spouse

Divorce does not end your relationship with your spouse. If you have children, your relationship will continue for many years. Even if you do not have children, the relationship will continue at least until the divorce is final and, probably, in some form or another for years afterward. If possible, start thinking now about what this new relationship should be and how you can make it better than the one that is ending.

Protecting Your Children

Children must be told that mom and dad will not be living together and that the divorce is in no way their fault. Children should never be given the feeling that they need to choose sides. Under no circumstances should you directly involve them in the conflict by making derogatory remarks about, or trying to place blame for the breakup, on the other parent. No matter what negative feelings you might have, your children probably do not share them. Never use your children as messengers.

If you are facing a divorce, Melissa Cianci will first help you deal with the immediate, pressing concerns. If children are involved, those issues often include:

• Immediate child support
• Child custody
• A place to live
• Asset protection
• Protecting your children

We will explain what the divorce process is likely to involve. We will advise you, represent you, and address your concerns every step of the way. To schedule an initial consultation with a discounted fee about your divorce, contact Melissa Cianci today at (916) 797-1575.
