FAQs
How Are Disputes Settled Through Mediation?
During mediation, your Vista family law mediator will manage the negotiation between you and your spouse. This might mean meeting in the same room, or you and your spouse may be split up to avoid conflicts. After an agreement is reached, your mediator will file the proper paperwork with the court.
Is Child Custody Mediation Required in California?
Mediation is required in every California child custody case. You can choose to hire your own Vista family law mediator or rely on government resources.
When Should I Get a Prenup in California?
Generally, we recommend that you get a prenup for your relationship if there is a disparity in wealth between the two of you. You may also wish to get a prenup if there are assets that you want to keep protected.
What Is Included in a California Estate Plan?
Many different components could potentially be included in a typical estate plan, including your will, living will, medical directives, beneficiary designations, trusts, designation of power of attorney, and more.
More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.

How to pick the best divorce lawyer It is important when going through litigation to pick an attorney that will properly represent you. When considering your options, consider these important elements to find who is going to be the best fit for you: 1. Be realistic: Keep in mind that a divorce is litigation. Your attorney will represent you to the best of their ability but keep in mind what their role is. 2. Stay focused on the goal: Your goal is to get a divorce. Try to keep your emotions separate from that goal so as not to complicate it. 3. Know what you want: Before you hire an attorney, consider all of the types of litigation. You may find that a mediator is the best option for your divorce. 4. Identify at least three potential attorneys: Make sure you consider all of your options to ensure that you pick the best attorney for you. If you would like to consult an attorney for divorce, give Andrew P. Johnson a call today!
