WE ARE OPEN DURING THE SHELTER-IN-PLACE ORDER

Our Office
Per Monterey County’s shelter-in-place order, our physical office location is closed until further notice due to COVID-19. However, we are open for business remotely and can be contacted! We pride ourselves on our paperless office, which allows us to service your legal needs at the touch of a button. We have the capability of having video conferencing, telephone conferencing, electronic preparation and signatures of documents, e-filing, e-service of materials, etc. Our office will continue to operate during the shelter-in-place order, and we will be as available to current and potential clients as we always have been.

Impact on Courts
Due to Executive Order N-25-30, the Monterey County Superior Court has moved hearings set between March and May, to July and August dates. These drastic measures make it even more imperative to get your action filed with the court and get a hearing date as soon as possible. Delays in filing for relief or orders could mean you are looking at a court date in September, October, or even November. We are woefully aware that these delays could cause financial stress and strain in your personal life. Friction, and animosity when co-parenting is in order and frustration at delays in reaching a final resolution of your dissolution of marriage.
Here For You
We understand how COVID-19 is affecting everyone. We are here to discuss and address your concerns and figure out how best to protect your legal rights during this difficult time. From all of us at Cornwall Family Law Office, we wish our extended families safe and healthy weeks ahead, while we all hunker down during this critical time in our Nation.

Everyone has heard horror stories about divorces with spouses that are pitted against each other, dragging the divorce through court for years, and running up exorbitant legal bills to fight over every issue possible. Divorce mediation is the opposite of that horror story.
When one spouse is in the military (or when both are), additional legal issues come into play. Special rules apply in a military divorce regarding where to file a military divorce, how child and spousal support is calculated, how child custody is determined.
