Services
Our California divorce practice guides clients through complex dissolution and legal separation matters. We recognize the stress and life changes that accompany these cases, including financial and family concerns. Our attorneys maintain knowledge of current state family law developments. We pursue practical solutions designed to resolve disputes and support a smooth transition.
Child custody matters are often the most challenging issues in family law proceedings. The outcome can significantly affect a parents relationship with their children long term. At Schank Family Law, we approach each case with sensitivity and focus on the best results. Our attorneys provide skilled and compassionate guidance through these highly personal disputes.
Retaining a child support attorney is important for securing appropriate and fair financial arrangements. Those who pay support benefit from structured and manageable financial obligations. We recommend seeking legal guidance before a judge issues any final order is entered. Our firm helps clients understand California law and pursue the most suitable overall outcome.
Divorce can impact emotional and financial stability and may require consideration of ongoing support. When a spouse lacks work experience due to caregiving or illness, spousal support may be appropriate. Courts may order payments to maintain the marital standard of living based on circumstances. We help clients understand calculations and prepare strong cases for either party.
We are California property division attorneys assisting spouses in dividing marital assets during divorce. Property division is often complex and emotionally difficult within the Riverside family court system. We aim to reduce this burden by offering clear legal guidance. With extensive experience, we help clients pursue fair resolutions through consultation and representation.
We handle civil harassment restraining order matters arising from non-family disputes in California courts. These cases may involve threats or harassment even without allegations of physical violence. We apply focused legal strategies to address the specific circumstances of each matter. Our goal is to secure the most effective resolution for our clients.
We support families across California navigating guardianship proceedings when a child or vulnerable adult requires protective care. Courts may establish guardianship due to incapacity, illness, addiction, military absence, or unsafe living conditions. We simplify the legal process by providing guidance and dedicated representation. We provide free case evaluations to help determine the appropriate legal path.

I am deeply grateful for the representation I received from Thomas Allison at Schanks & Associates, and for the exceptional work of his paralegal, Kayla Munoz.
From the beginning, Thomas was honest, clear, and realistic about expectations. He doesnt overpromise, but he consistently delivers. I always felt confident knowing he was advocating for me with professionalism, preparation, and integrity.
Kayla plays a huge role behind the scenes and deserves special recognition. She handled all of the paperwork with care and precision, consistently met deadlines, and was professional and responsive throughout the process. Her work was thorough and well done, and it was clear how much effort and attention she put into every detail.
Together, Thomas and Kayla are an excellent team. Because of their work, I felt supported, informed, and able to move forward with peace of mind. Any parent, especially those navigating high-conflict situations, would be fortunate to have them advocating on their behalf.
I highly recommend Schanks & Associates, and especially Thomas Allison and Kayla Munoz.

Highly recommend law firm if you need a lawyer! When I went through my divorce I had several lawyers that all took my money and didnt do anything for me. I hired Law Offices of Christian Schank and Associates, APC and their team of lawyers worked on my case right away! At the end, I got my divorce without the pain of going to a long family court battle.
