Laurie was great and really nice
Back in 2009/2010, my two best friends and I were all getting divorced around the same time—LOL! I either actually hired Laurie or she just assisted me with self-filing. I'm pretty sure that one of the other girls did for sure hire her. At that time, I don't believe that this particular firm was even in existence; from what I remember, she was located in the ICOT Center. She was great—really nice and everything went smoothly. Fast forward to 2022, I had to call her to ask about my name change from my divorce from back then. She answered right away and answered my question. Thanks, Laurie!

Yeazell and Sweet are the best solution
I have been a customer of theirs before they started this law firm. What I can tell you is this. It will cost you twice as much to get an attorney with their qualifications and experience anywhere else in the Bay Area. Period. I am a single dad. Chris and Laurie just got me custody of my child. Are you a single dad who is being tormented by your nut job ex? I was! Not anymore! Not only am I a dad with custody, I can pretty much snap my fingers and have my ex arrested for contempt if my ex gets in the way of getting my child what he needs for medical and school issues. They won a seemingly never-ending battle that has spanned over ten years. You have to remember that the best way to keep your legal bill smaller is to keep your mouth shut and do what they tell you to do. I cannot imagine using any other law firm for criminal and family law issues. Never forget, dads... THE SYSTEM IS OUT TO RUIN YOU! Yeazell and Sweet are the best solution. I pay my legal bills with a smile on my face. Oh, yeah... They made my ex pay my legal fees too. SO AWESOME!

If a court has ordered spousal support and your spouse refuses to pay, legal action can be taken to enforce the order. This may include wage garnishment, seizing of assets, or legal penalties. Consulting with a family law attorney can provide guidance on the best course of action and help ensure compliance with the court's order.
Can spousal support be modified?
Yes, spousal support can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This might include changes in income, employment status, or financial needs. Either party can request a modification, but they must provide evidence to support the change. A court will review the evidence to determine if an adjustment to the support order is justified.
What is spousal support?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial payment from one spouse to another after separation or divorce. Its purpose is to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a similar standard of living to that enjoyed during the marriage. The amount and duration depend on various factors, including the length of the marriage and the needs and financial resources of each party.
What factors impact spousal support?
Factors impacting spousal support include the length of the marriage, each spouse's income and earning potential, their financial needs, contributions to the marriage (such as childcare or homemaking), and any other relevant circumstances like age and health. Courts consider these elements to ensure a fair distribution of support to maintain the recipient's standard of living post-separation.
