Full-service family law firm in San Diego
The attorneys at Hervey & Wood, APC are here to help you with all aspects of family law, knowing that this is one of the most difficult times in your life. We listen to your needs, understand your concerns and help you reach solutions to your family legal problems.

-Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
Spousal Support
Divorce is difficult, but it should not lead to a financial crisis. We are here to help you negotiate either the receipt of or the payment of spousal support so you can continue to live as comfortably as possible under the circumstances.
Child custody and visitation
For every parent, child custody is the most heart-wrenching aspect of divorce. We will help you negotiate and enforce your parental rights to help protect the best interests of your children.
Child support
Both parents share the responsibility of raising a child. At Hervey & Wood, APC, our attorneys help ensure your child receives the financial support required for a healthy, happy upbringing.
Child support modification and enforcement
Child support payments remain the same unless and until the court modifies the child support order. If either parent experiences a significant change in financial circumstances, our attorneys can guide you through the proper legal procedures to modify your child support payments accordingly.
Divorce
Throughout your divorce, our attorneys stand by you. We accompany you through mediation or litigation, depending on which is likely to obtain the best possible results for you - including fair distribution of assets, division of the marital home, spousal support, child support payments and child custody rights.
Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
When you marry your beloved, you may not foresee the potential problems that can eventually lead to divorce. We expect the unexpected and draft premarital agreements and post-nuptial agreements that protect both spouses' interests and that can alleviate some of the stress should you ever divorce.
