Services
Attorney
Report
A graduate of the University of San Francisco School of Law, Joe Keiser has been handling family law, divorce and appellate cases since 2004. I work toward settlement whenever possible. I believe that settlement provides the best results for everyone involved in a family law case, especially when children are involved.
Practice Areas
Report
Family law encompasses nearly every legal issue that may arise between two people in a familial or intimate relationship. The most commom family law issue is divorce. However, non-married people can have family law needs as well. Everything from drafting wills & trusts, to obtaining restraining orders, handling custody disputes, ending domestic partnerships and more, all fall under the umbrella of family law.
Divorce
Report
Divorce, or dissolution, is the process of ending a marriage through the courts. Most divorces in California follow the same basic process.
1) deciding to get divorced or end a domestic partnership, 2) filing the initial divorce paperwork with the courts, 3) serving the initial divorce paperwork on the responding party, 4) exchanging financial disclosures, 5) conducting settlement discussions, and 6) obtaining a judgment of dissolution (finalizing the divorce).

Custody Disputes
Report
In a divorce, or when an unmarried couple has minor children, the court will make decisions as to both legal and physical custody of minor children. Legal custody is the right to make decisions about the child, while physical custody is having actual custodial care. Custody can be joint or sole, depending upon many factors affecting the best interest of the child.
Property Division
Report
Property division can be one of the most complex and contentious areas in any dissolution process. In order to avoid unnecessary conflict when it comes to dividing property, Joe Keiser first works with clients to compile a detailed picture of what property is at issue, and what the value of that property is.
