Tailored legal solutions for Pasadena families facing family law matters
Pasadena Divorce Lawyers
Experienced Family Law Attorneys in Los Angeles, CA
Our divorce attorneys in Pasadena have handled various complex cases across LA County, including high net worth and high-asset divorces, international family law disputes, business valuations, and sensitive matters requiring discretion.
We handle contested, collaborative, and mediated divorces in Pasadena as well as legal separation, domestic partnerships, and annulment cases.
Whether you’re both working toward a fair settlement or you’re dealing with someone who’s already lawyered up, we walk you through the whole process – from that first filing to the day it’s officially done with a strategy built around your priorities.
Divorce & Separation
Divorce in Pasadena often involves more than just shared property. It can mean stock options, business interests, executive compensation, and homes in neighborhoods like Oak Knoll or Linda Vista. These divisions require the right strategy, the right experts, and a firm that knows how to handle high-asset divorces.
We secure temporary orders when you need immediate financial support or custody arrangements. We handle emergencies when safety or assets are at immediate risk. Our Pasadena property division attorneys know how to protect executives and business owners whose compensation goes way beyond a simple salary.
You’ll have experienced counsel focused on protecting your future from the very first step.
Child Custody & Support
Your kids need stability, always. We represent parents seeking clear, enforceable custody and support arrangements that reflect demanding work schedules, income, and the real cost of raising children in Pasadena.
Our custody attorneys handle all aspects of custody and visitation, including emergency cases, temporary custody, moveaways and relocation disputes, and parental abduction.
Whether you’re establishing a new schedule, modifying an outdated order, or dealing with violations of an existing agreement, we work to protect your time, your connection with your children, and your role in the decisions that shape their lives.
International Family Law
For globally connected families, we handle international family law matters involving spouses, children, and assets spread across multiple countries.
Our team has experience with cross-border divorce, spousal support, and property division involving real estate, businesses, and financial accounts located abroad. We also represent parents in international custody disputes—whether it’s enforcing orders across jurisdictions, preventing unauthorized relocation, or pursuing return under the Hague Convention.
We work with trusted international counsel when coordination is needed and ensure your case complies with both California law and applicable international treaties or foreign court orders.
Specialized Family Law
Some cases require more. We handle high-stakes family matters that don’t fit the usual—where safety, long-term planning, or reputation is on the line.
That includes restraining orders, both for protection and defense. We draft and enforce prenuptial and postnuptial agreements involving significant assets, business interests, or family wealth. We also represent clients in guardianship, emancipated minors, grandparents’ rights, and appeals involving prior family court decisions.
When the situation is personal, complex, or urgent, we move carefully and with purpose.
You’ve built a life here in Pasadena. Your children thrive at Polytechnic or Mayfield. Your business is gaining ground – patents filed, Series A funding secured, groundbreaking research on the horizon. You’ve made sacrifices to give your family the life they have.
Perhaps you’ve been trying counseling for months. Or maybe it all unraveled in an instant—hidden accounts, secret meetings with lawyers, threats to take the kids somewhere you can’t follow.
And now you have to redesign your entire future.
At Provinziano & Associates, our team of skilled attorneys understands that your divorce affects more than just two people. It impacts research partnerships, affects stock option vesting, influences where your children attend schools, and determines whether your intellectual property remains secure.
Led by Certified Family Law Specialist Alphonse Provinziano, we have spent nearly two decades helping Pasadena families through transitions that stay confidential and preserve what took years to build.
Our staff and team of family law attorneys in Pasadena, CA, are highly skilled and experienced professionals committed to providing exceptional service to our clients.
Our attorneys have extensive knowledge and expertise in family law matters, and they work closely with you to understand your unique situation and develop effective strategies to achieve your goals.
How Family Law Works in Pasadena
Your case will be heard at the Pasadena Courthouse at 300 East Walnut Street, part of the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. The courthouse has dedicated family law departments with Family Court Services available on-site for mediation and custody evaluations.
The court operates with a smaller, consistent panel of judges who handle most family law cases. This means attorneys who know the court well can often predict how certain issues will be approached.
Like other LA County courts, Pasadena emphasizes mediation and settlement before trial.
The Provinziano & Associates Difference
Here’s What Sets Our Pasadena Family Law Firm Apart
Certified Family Law Specialist Leading Our Team
Alphonse Provinziano isn't just another family law attorney - he's a Board Certified Family Law Specialist and Fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers with over 18 years of experience. When your case involves complex assets or crosses international borders, that expertise comes in handy.
Award-Winning Legal Team for High-Stakes Family Law
Provinziano & Associates is consistently recognized for excellence in family law by leading legal organizations in California and across the border. Our attorneys bring sound judgment, strategic focus, and deep experience to complex matters, especially those involving significant assets, public figures, international elements, or sensitive custody issues.
Skilled in Complex and Multi-Generational Asset Division
When a divorce involves long-held assets—real estate, business interests, stocks, retirement, and investments tied to family wealth or cross-border ownership- they require careful analysis and a clear legal strategy. We work with trusted valuation professionals and forensic experts to unravel complex financial pictures and ensure division plans that reflect both current realities and long-term financial security.
Familiarity with Pasadena Courthouse Procedures
We regularly handle cases at the Pasadena Courthouse. Our knowledge of the court’s family law departments, mediator protocols, and judicial expectations allows us to prepare cases with tact. Understanding how local judges approach parenting arrangements, financial disclosures, or enforcement actions can make a measurable difference in how your case moves forward.
Privacy Protection for High-Profile Cases
Some matters require a lower profile. We represent clients who value discretion, whether due to professional visibility, public roles, or sensitive family dynamics. We use confidentiality agreements, sealed filings, and carefully negotiated settlements to protect reputations and minimize public exposure. While some records are public by law, we take every available step to keep personal information out of the spotlight.
Prepared for Courtroom Litigation When Required
While many cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, our Pasadena divorce litigation attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court when needed, combining decisive advocacy with a clear focus on your objectives and the well-being of your loved ones and assets.
Multilingual Support
Clear communication is the foundation of a strong attorney–client relationship. While English is our primary language, many of our team members speak additional languages. If you’d like to confirm we can communicate in your preferred language, please contact us.
