California Attorney Alphonse Provinziano Becomes a Fellow in the International Academy of Family Lawyers

Esteemed lawyer recognized for work on complex family law cases across borders

Veteran California attorney Alphonse Provinziano has been named a fellow in the International Academy of Family Lawyers, a global organization of family law specialists, in recognition of his legal expertise in managing complex family law cases that cross international borders.

The founder of the leading Los Angeles-based family law firm Provinziano & Associates, Provinziano has long worked in all aspects of family law, including divorce and child custody disputes, domestic violence and restraining orders, grandparents’ rights, and prenuptial agreements.

“I’m truly honored to join this international group of esteemed family law professionals,” he said. “I have already learned a lot from working with my colleagues in other countries about their legal systems and how they approach different issues, and I look forward to learning even more.”

In the greater Los Angeles area, Provinziano and his team of attorneys frequently work with high-net-worth clients and have to mediate disputes that cross international borders, including everything from where a child will call home to how to divide assets located in different countries.

He recently traveled to France and Italy to meet with lawyers for workshops on family law. In collaboration with Italian lawyer Alessandro Gravante, he wrote an analysis of Italy’s recent ban on overseas surrogacy for the Solicitors Journal, a prestigious British legal publication that was established in 1856.

Provinziano was a board member of the California Lawyer’s Association Family Law Executive Committee for a term lasting from 2020 to 2023 and is serving as a board member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association Family Law Executive Committee through 2025.

“Family laws vary from country to country, yet the challenges faced by families are often similar,” added Provinziano. “We can learn a lot from how other countries approach these difficult questions, both in terms of solutions we can try and problems we can avoid.”
