If you are thinking of a divorce or are in the midst of one, our Fresno, California, law firm, the Law Office of Nancy J. Stegall, APC can help you with one of your major concerns. We can help you survive divorce without going broke.

Call the Law Office of Nancy J. Stegal, APC at 559-237-6800 to schedule your consultation.
Divorce is an emotionally rough terrain. We can help you navigate the emotions and rise above them to see the issues clearly. Some spouses are guilt-ridden about the divorce and want to give the other spouse everything. Some feel vindictive and want to punish the other spouse economically. Neither course of action is advisable.
No matter how amicable you wish to keep the divorce process, if the other person is unreasonable, you will be incurring the same attorney's bills. Ending a marriage involves disruption and pain. However, you can reduce the stress.
The choice is yours: you can fight it out in court or you can come out of it with fewer emotional bruises and face your future with dignity and respect.
Contact our firm to schedule your consultation.
We recommend the principles of Collaborative Law. When couples take a less adversarial approach, the entire family benefits, and children are protected from the harm that a court battle can inflict.
To help reach a settlement with your spouse, we can hire an attorney as a mediator and use their services to guide discussions and resolve difficult issues.
Spousal support is based on the standard of living you enjoyed during the marriage. If the supporting spouse's income is insufficient to maintain that standard with alimony after the divorce - if two households cannot make it on one income - perhaps a different property division, or greater child support, would make things more equitable.
Modification of support. If you have had a change in circumstance, or if you are earning less money, we can move to have the court modify your support obligations.
