    Experienced Family Law Representation for Granite Bay Residents

    Hopper Hopper & Strebe combines a California Board Certified Family Law Specialist designation, a partner with deep Placer County courtroom experience and a background in trial work and prosecution, and a trial attorney who has handled some of the hardest-fought domestic violence cases in the region. That combination gives clients a team built for cases involving real stakes, including their children, significant assets, restraining orders, or a spouse who will not negotiate in good faith.

    Granite Bay is one of the most financially complex communities in Placer County. Households here often involve business ownership, executive compensation, real estate portfolios, and retirement assets that require more than a surface-level review. Our attorneys bring the financial and litigation rigor that cases in this community tend to demand.

    Family Law Matters We Handle for Granite Bay Clients

    A family law case rarely stays confined to one issue. We handle the disputes that tend to drive outcomes in Placer County family court.

    • Contested Divorce

      When two spouses cannot reach an agreement on custody, support, property, or both, the case needs a lawyer who can build a litigation strategy, manage deadlines, and apply pressure where it counts. We represent Granite Bay clients in contested divorces from initial filing through trial.

    • High-Asset Divorce

      Granite Bay divorces frequently involve business interests, investment accounts, stock compensation, deferred income, and separate property tracing. Our firm works with financial professionals when needed and digs into the details that can make or break property division.

    • Child Custody

      Children deserve a custody arrangement built around their actual lives — their school, their routines, their relationships. We develop parenting plans that address schedules, holidays, exchanges, decision-making authority, and the practical details that matter long after the case closes.

    • Domestic Violence

      When abuse, harassment, coercive control, or threats are part of a family law case, the legal stakes change quickly. Our firm represents clients in matters where domestic violence is central, and we understand how these allegations interact with custody, property access, and court timelines.

    • Restraining Orders

      A domestic violence restraining order can immediately affect where a parent lives, how much time they have with their children, and how communication between spouses is handled. These hearings move fast and require a focused legal response. We represent both petitioners and respondents in restraining order proceedings.

    • LGBTQIA+ Family Law

      Parentage, domestic partnership history, and family structure can raise distinct legal questions in divorce and custody cases. Our firm handles LGBTQIA+ family law matters with the same precision and care we bring to every case.

    How Long Will It Take

    California requires at least one spouse to have lived in the state for six months and in the filing county for three months before a divorce petition can be filed. Once filed, California law imposes a minimum six-month waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. Legal separation follows a similar process but without the waiting period requirement.

    For Granite Bay residents with complex financial situations, the practical timeline is almost always longer. Business valuation, support disputes, custody litigation, and restraining order proceedings all add time. Some cases resolve shortly after the waiting period ends. Others, where one spouse is uncooperative or the financial picture is tangled, can extend well beyond that.

    why us

    What Sets Hopper Hopper & Strebe Apart for Granite Bay Clients

    Granite Bay cases often involve more moving parts than a typical family law matter. Our firm was built for exactly that kind of case, where the financial stakes are high, the custody issues are real, and the other side is not going to make things easy.

    • Trial-Ready from Day One

      We treat every case as though it may go to court. That means building a strong factual record early, identifying leverage points before they disappear, and making sure no deadline or disclosure requirement is missed.

    • Deep Financial Analysis

      Property division in a high-asset divorce is rarely straightforward. We work through business records, compensation structures, reimbursement claims, and tracing arguments with the thoroughness those issues require.

    • Local Court Knowledge

      Our attorneys know how Placer County family court operates, what judges look for, and where a case is likely to require motion practice rather than patience. That familiarity translates directly into a better case strategy for our clients.

    FAQ

    Company logo

    Can I modify a custody or support order after the divorce is finalized?

    Yes. California courts can revisit custody, visitation, and support orders when there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a parent relocating, a shift in income, or a meaningful change in the child's needs. Modifications require a court order and, in contested cases, may involve a full hearing.

    What happens to a family business in a Granite Bay divorce?

    A business that started or grew during the marriage is typically treated as community property, meaning its value may be subject to division. Reaching a fair resolution usually requires a formal business valuation and a careful review of what portion, if any, was built before the marriage or with separate funds.

    Does it matter who files for divorce first in California?

    California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither spouse needs to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. Filing first does not by itself give either party a legal advantage, though there can be strategic reasons (related to temporary orders or court scheduling) to move promptly once a decision has been made.

    How is child support calculated in California?

    California uses a statewide guideline formula that factors in each parent's income, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, and certain allowable deductions. Courts can deviate from the guideline in limited circumstances, but the formula is the starting point in virtually every case. You can learn more in our child support calculator blog.
