Hosted by the California Family Law Report.

Basic Training: Family Law is a comprehensive program, designed and taught by experts in the field for lawyers and their support staff with limited experience in the practice of family law. It is also beneficial to intermediate family law lawyers who want a thorough review of family law basics and best practices. This “how to” course takes you step-by-step in handling a marriage dissolution case, commencing with jurisdiction, developing a competent case and discovery plan, seeking and opposing pendente lite relief, and continuing through to judgment and post-judgment matters.

You’ll learn the importance of each element of the family law forms – including the Petition and Response that begin the case, the Request for Order that initiates an evidentiary or motion hearing, the all-important Supporting and Responsive Declarations that can make or break your request for, or opposition to, interim and post-judgment orders, and the mandatory Declarations of Disclosure required. Our panel explains the substantive law and strategies to be considered in competently maneuvering through the many forms and procedures. No matter which side you represent, you will learn the basics of family law and hear invaluable practice pointers from the experts.
