Our practice areas include custody enforcement, support modifications, property disputes, and much more. San Francisco residents facing ongoing legal conflicts should seek guidance before problems grow harder to resolve. Call us at (855) 827-6639 or contact us online to speak with our team today.

What are Post-Divorce Disputes?

Post-judgment conflicts arise when one party fails to follow the terms of a divorce order, or at least one spouse wants modifications to the divorce agreements. These disputes can develop months or even years after the divorce process ends. Former spouses may disagree over custody arrangements, support payments, or property transfers. Enforcement issues occur when someone violates a court order. Modification disputes arise when one side asks the court to change an existing agreement. Ongoing disagreements between former spouses often require legal intervention to resolve.

Common Types of Post-Divorce Disputes in California

Many people who were married are surprised to find themselves back in court after a divorce. Common disputes include:

Child custody and parenting time disputes
Child support modification and enforcement issues
Spousal support disagreements
Property division enforcement problems
Violations of divorce judgments and court orders

Child Custody Disputes After Divorce in San Francisco

Few family law matters carry more weight than disputes involving children. Parents often disagree about custody as their children grow and family circumstances change. These conflicts can have a lasting effect on a child’s future if not handled properly. Working with a skilled child custody attorney in San Francisco protects parental rights and the well-being of children.

Our attorneys can help with:

Requests to Modify Custody Orders
Parenting Time and Visitation Conflicts
Emergency Custody Matters

Relocation and Move Away Disputes

When one parent wants to move away with the children, serious legal disputes often follow. Parents who want to relocate must typically provide notice and may need court approval. The other parent has the right to object and present evidence against the move. Courts focus on the best interests of the child when deciding these cases, not just the preferences of either parent. Working with a child custody relocation attorney in San Francisco is highly recommended in such cases.

San Francisco Child Support Enforcement and Modification

Child support orders exist to protect children’s financial well-being. Families in the San Francisco area often need to revisit these orders as life circumstances shift. Our child support modification attorneys help parents pursue changes or enforce existing support obligations.

Spousal Support Disputes in San Francisco

Spousal support disputes can be financially and emotionally draining for both parties. If you or your ex-husband/wife are seeking modifications for alimony, contact Holstrom, Block & Parke. Our experienced spousal support attorneys help clients across the Bay Area resolve spousal support conflicts efficiently.

Property Division Enforcement After Divorce in San Francisco

Dividing marital property and separate property does not always go smoothly after divorce. Some former spouses refuse to comply with property division orders, forcing the other party back to court. In these cases, the San Francisco property division attorneys at Holstrom, Block, and Parke are here to assist you through the process. Common cases we handle include:

Failure to Transfer Assets or Property
Retirement Account Division Issues
Business Ownership Disputes
Real Estate and Asset Sale Conflicts

Domestic Violence and Post-Divorce Disputes

Abuse does not always stop when a divorce is finalized. California courts have strong tools to protect survivors even after the divorce process ends. Our experienced team guides clients through these urgent and emotional situations. Cases we handle involve:

Protective Orders After Divorce
Custody Restrictions and Safety Concerns
Violations of Restraining Orders
Emergency Court Intervention

Mediation and Settlement Options for Post-Divorce Conflicts

How you handle dispute resolution can have a lasting impact on your family’s well-being for years to come. Family law mediation allows both parties to work with a neutral third party toward a solution. This approach keeps family law matters out of court and reduces stress for everyone involved. Mediation can also lower legal expenses and help former spouses maintain a workable relationship. Collaborative approaches work well when both parties are willing to communicate in good faith. Our San Francisco divorce mediation attorneys help clients determine the right fit for their situation.

Contempt of Court in California Post Divorce Cases

California attorneys and Bay Area courts take violations of divorce orders very seriously. Penalties for noncompliance can include fines, attorney fee awards, and even jail time. Failing to act when violations occur can make enforcement harder over time. Our skilled attorneys move fast to protect clients’ rights.

Post-Divorce Modifications in California

Many couples are surprised to learn that divorce orders are not always permanent. California law allows either party to petition the court for a modification when circumstances change. Legal representation is strongly recommended for anyone seeking or opposing a modification. Updating court orders to reflect current needs protects both parties and reduces future conflict.

Temporary vs Permanent Modifications

Some modifications apply only while a short-term situation resolves. Others are permanent and reflect a lasting change in a party’s life or financial situation. Our attorneys help clients understand which type of modification makes sense for their circumstances.

Litigation for Complex Post-Divorce Disputes

Some disputes simply cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Our California complex divorce litigation attorneys pursue court action when litigation becomes necessary. We represent clients at hearings involving custody enforcement, support collection, and property disputes. Our attorneys gather financial records, communication logs, and other critical evidence to build strong cases. We also work with expert witnesses, including forensic accountants and child custody evaluators, when necessary.

Trial Advocacy in Contested Family Law Matters

When a family law case goes to trial, skilled courtroom representation makes a real difference. Our California family law attorneys present evidence clearly, cross-examine witnesses effectively, and argue persuasively before the court. Holstrom, Block & Parke has a strong record of advocacy in contested family law proceedings throughout California.

Financial Disclosure Violations and Hidden Assets

California law requires full financial disclosure from both spouses during and after the divorce process. With regard to these rules, courts hold parties to a strict standard of honesty and transparency. Parties may fail to disclose income, property, or financial accounts during the divorce process. Sometimes, you only discover these issues after the court finalizes your divorce.

In these cases, fraud-related claims may give the harmed spouse legal remedies. Our experienced attorneys carefully review financial documentation to identify signs of hidden assets or fraudulent reporting.

Mistakes to Avoid During Post Divorce Disputes

Post-divorce conflicts are emotional, and it is easy to make choices that hurt your case. Parties on both sides of these disputes often make avoidable mistakes, including:

Ignoring existing court orders
Withholding parenting time from the other parent without court approval
Failing to document violations, missed payments, or incidents as they happen
Delaying legal action after a major life or financial change occurs
Communicating aggressively or improperly with a former spouse

Each of these mistakes can weaken your legal position and make resolution harder.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this family law practice, especially Jim Parke and Corrina Fuller. They handled a truly complex and tortuous divorce proceeding with exceptional professionalism. Corrina's meticulous tracking of details over the long case timeline was invaluable, and Jim Parke, who replaced prior attorneys on the case, quickly came up to speed. Their combined expertise led to our case settling exactly as we hoped. Thank you both!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five-Star Review of Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC – My Lifeline Through a Difficult Divorce

Going through a divorce was one of the most emotionally and mentally exhausting periods of my life, especially with the complex custody and financial issues involved. I knew I needed a legal team that not only understood the law but could also offer real strategy, compassion, and clarity during the chaos. That’s exactly what I found with Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC.

From my first consultation, I felt a genuine sense of confidence in their team. They didn’t sugarcoat anything—something I deeply appreciated. They were clear about what the law allows, what options were available to me, and what outcomes were realistic given my situation. I never felt like just another case file; I felt seen, heard, and truly supported.

My divorce involved complicated financial matters, including the division of a small business and disputed assets, as well as a sensitive custody battle. The attorneys at HBP were meticulous and strategic. They knew how to protect what I had worked so hard for while also fighting for a custody arrangement that prioritized my children’s well-being. What impressed me most was their ability to keep negotiations grounded, even when tensions escalated. And when we needed to take things to court, they were prepared, professional, and incredibly persuasive.

Their depth of experience showed in everything they did—from drafting documents to courtroom strategy. At one point, false accusations were made against me that could have impacted my parental rights. My attorney handled the situation with calm determination and presented the facts so clearly that the judge saw through the accusations and ruled decisively in my favor.

Thanks to Holstrom, Block & Parke, I was able to walk away from a very difficult chapter of my life with my dignity intact, my financial interests protected, and a custody agreement that allows me to maintain a strong, loving relationship with my children.

If you’re facing a divorce or custody battle and want a legal team that is smart, tenacious, and truly committed to your best interests, I cannot recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke enough. They don’t just help you survive the process—they help you find a way forward.
