At SANTO MEHAS, A Professional Law Corporation, we are committed to achieving the most favorable divorce outcome for every client we serve. Backed by over 70 years of legal experience, we offer a wide range of divorce options to ensure we can best cater to our clients’ goals.

Our Oxnard divorce attorneys have the knowledge, experience, and skills to handle all aspects of your divorce, whether you take an amicable or adversarial approach.

Litigated Divorce Services

While an amicable divorce approach works for some couples, it is not the best option for everyone. At times, a litigated divorce is the only option. As these types of divorces can quickly get contentious, it is important to consult with an experienced divorce attorney who will fight to protect your interests.

With over 70 years of experience, our Oxnard divorce attorneys are dedicated to helping you navigate the process of a litigated divorce.

Mediation Services

At SANTO MEHAS A Professional Law Corporation, we also offer mediation services led by attorney Donna Carol Santo, a certified specialist, Family Law California Board of Legal Specialization and certified mediator through the Institute for Dispute Resolution, Pepperdine University School of Law.

Known as a form of alternative dispute resolution, divorce mediation is led by a neutral, third-party individual who helps you and your spouse come to an agreement regarding any issues you have about spousal support, child custody, and more.

Why You Need an Attorney to File for Divorce

If you are seeking a divorce, you might be wondering if you can file for divorce on your own. Here are some reasons why you should hire an attorney to represent your interests in a divorce:

Secure legal advice from a seasoned attorney

An experienced attorney will explain what your rights are while you go through the divorce process and make sure that your interests are protected throughout. Your attorney will also be able to help you file the correct paperwork, make sure you receive the best settlement possible, and can litigate on your behalf if your spouse refuses to come to a divorce agreement with you.

Reduce stress

Divorce is a stressful time for everyone involved. It is a time commitment and can take an emotional toll on both spouses. A divorce attorney can handle the logistics and paperwork for you, so that you can focus more on taking care of yourself and your family.

Avoid making costly mistakes

As the legal system is complex, it is easy to make a mistake as you file for divorce. Making a small mistake could negatively affect the outcome of your divorce. By hiring an attorney, you can rest assured that your case will be properly handled and that you will avoid costly mistakes.

  • “I was able to be a part of my child’s life which is priceless.”

    I had a divorce and child custody case and Santo Mehas represented me. Michael Mehas traveled from his Ventura office to Fresno to appear on my behalf and was diligent in fighting for my rights as a parent. We had a positive outcome with agreeable visitation rights. I was able to be a part of my child’s life which is priceless.

  • “You two are a true blessing”
    Where do I begin? Donna Santo and Michael Mehas are a phenomenal team. From my initial phone call with Michael to my Victory with Donna. Everything from beginning to end was immaculate. I was handling my case on my own, and I gradually started to feel defeated and wanted to just give up, it was too much weight to carry. Then I was referred to SantoMehas PROFESSIONAL Law Corporation, and yes they are very professional. Mr. Mehas promised me they (he and Donna) would fight for me and they put up a big, huge fight ending in a victory. Donna picked up where I left off, when I was representing myself. I made a huge mess and Mrs. Santo cleaned it up effortlessly. She enters into the courtroom with confidence and knowledge. She indeed knows her stuff. I was unable to appear from time to time, so she represented me and called me right after the hearing to inform me of next steps and outcomes. I am happy with the outcome of my year-long custodial battle, of which was not looking good for me until Donna and Michael started representing me. I am truly grateful for them, without them, who knows how my life would have turned out, but with them it turned out exactly the way I wanted it. If you’re second guessing about having SantoMehas represent you, DON’T they’re literally there to fight for you, and the battle will not end until you win, thank you so much Michael Mehas and Donna Santo, you two are a true blessing.
