About Family Law Cases in Ventura, Ventura County

Family law matters filed by Ventura residents are handled by the Family Law Division of the Ventura County Superior Court at the Hall of Justice in downtown Ventura. Common cases include dissolution (divorce), legal separation, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, community property division, and domestic violence restraining orders. California is a no-fault, community-property state — marital assets and debts are divided equally under Family Code §2550, while custody and visitation decisions turn on the “best interest of the child” standard codified in California Family Code §3011.

In one recent Ventura-area matter, we represented a parent seeking to modify a custody order after the other parent relocated out of the county. Through a targeted motion, presentation of school and provider records, and skilled negotiation, we secured a revised parenting plan that preserved the child’s stability without a contested trial. Outcomes vary case-by-case, but preparation, credibility, and a clear theory of the case consistently produce better results than reactive litigation. We handle property division, restraining orders, custody, support, and post-judgment modifications with the same personalized approach.

Hali is an incredibly kind and knowledgeable person. I needed legal assistance for my son’s education on his IEP, and she genuinely fulfilled her promises. If I ever need legal assistance again, I would definitely go to her.

After getting arrested and having been to prison before 12 years ago . I picked up a case and I was fighting 2 felonies . I hired Hali after seeing how good she was with being sons lawyer and fighting for him. She also fought for me and got my felonies dropped to one misdemeanor time served and a 6 month review for dismissal. I would definitely recommend her and I would definitely hire her again. I’ve been Thur a lot of different lawyers and she has been the best one I’ve ever had and I did not actually get time . So if you need a lawyer don’t hesitate hire her!!!!! Thanks Hali for not letting the system tear my family apart !

Hali is a fierce victims’ advocate; talking to her brings clarity and confidence. In situations where the aggressor attempts to distort the truth and play the victim — as mine did — she has a remarkable ability to cut through the noise and present the reality with precision.
Her skills in depositions, trial work, and cross-examination are outstanding and she knows exactly how to elicit the right testimony. She fought for me during an especially difficult situation, where my ex was involved with his attorney — something that complicated the dynamics significantly.
Her balanced approach between litigation and settlement is rare and invaluable. Since my case was transferred to her, not only did I feel more protected legally, but my mental health significantly improved as well.
If you are looking for someone who will truly stand by you, advocate for truth, and handle even the most complex situations with skill and compassion, I can’t recommend Hali enough.
Hali was amazing. I had been told that I could face a jail sentence, lose my license and a huge fine. On May 2025, Hali managed to convince the judge that i receive a $300 fine. Unbelievable; she made the process so easy for me. HIRE HALI whenever you find yourself in need of a great lawyer.

I was in such a dark place in my mind, and Hali has a way of connecting with people. She understood where I was coming from and helped me. Because of her compassion and fighting for me, I am now working on getting my counseling degree, I mentor other women that have been in my past position and i am able to give them hope for a new beginning. Hali’s belief in me has allowed me to change for the better. I have hope now and a future full of goodness. Thank you, Hali, for fighting and believing in me. It’s people like you that make this world a better place. Heal the brokenhearted, and society will live in peace.
