Divorce Q&A -- What You Need to Know (and Feel Good About)

Clear, compassionate answers from Karie Boyd, CFLS, CEO & Founder of Boyd Law.

How do we identify all assets and income for division?

We do a full financial "x-ray." That means sworn disclosures, subpoenas when needed, tracing of separate vs. community property, business valuations, and lifestyle analysis to verify income. If something exists, we'll find it--bank accounts, equity, bonuses, RSUs, crypto, real estate, you name it. You'll never be left wondering "what else is out there?"

What about child custody--how is a schedule decided?

We start with your children's best interests and your real life. We craft practical parenting plans (weekday, weekend, holidays, travel, school breaks) that fit your family. We negotiate firmly, and when needed, we advocate in court with a calm, child-centered approach.

Will I receive child support (including childcare, medical, and activities)?

Most likely--yes. California's guideline formula covers base child support, and we also secure add-ons like childcare, unreimbursed medical/dental/vision, and appropriate educational or activity costs. We make sure support reflects your children's real needs--not a bare minimum.

How is spousal support determined--and what about the marital standard of living?

Temporary support helps stabilize things now; long-term support considers many factors (length of marriage, contributions, health, earning capacity, and more). We advocate for support that maintains the marital standard of living--even if a husband disagrees. Facts, finances, and the law lead the way.

I've been a stay-at-home mom--does that hurt my case?

Not at all. Your work at home is real contribution. We highlight the value you provided, the career trade-offs you made, and the support necessary to move forward. Our goal is financial security and a plan that respects what you've built for your family.

What if my spouse controls the money or says "everything is his"?

We know that mentality--and the psychology behind it. California community property law, robust discovery, and court orders (when needed) level the playing field. We secure access to funds for your case, uncover hidden assets, and ensure fair division and support.

How will I feel supported throughout this process?

You'll have a certified family law specialist (and mom of two) leading an exceptional team of attorneys and paralegals. We communicate clearly, move quickly, and pair legal strategy with empathy--so you feel informed, confident, and truly cared for at every step.

You don't have to carry this alone.

Let's protect your kids, your finances, and your future--starting today.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. PROTECT YOUR FUTURE.

Stay at home moms often sacrifice their career opportunities and financial advancement to do one of the hardest jobs on the planet. California law supports women who have stayed at home to sacrifice by support orders and asset division. According to community property laws, all assets acquired during marriage belong to BOTH individuals, even a startup business!

HOW THE DIVORCE PROCESS WORKS

Initial Consultation. 

You will meet with one of our attorneys to discuss the best next steps and gather all of the necessary information to protect your legal rights to your home, finances, and children.  

Initial Filings. 

Whether you are the one filing for divorce or your spouse has filed for a divorce, our legal team prepares the appropriate legal papers to advance the process to your fresh start. 

Discovery.

During the discovery phase of the divorce Boyd Law will assist you in uncovering any hidden assets, ascertaining what assets and liabilities exist, what true values are, and any relevant information necessary to put you in the best legal position.

Your Divorce is Finalized.

Most cases settle without ever going to trial. At Boyd Law, we look for early settlement opportunities that are fair to our clients. Should it become necessary to go to trial, we have some of the best trial attorneys in California.

JIM JER SEY

I’m Karie Boyd, a Certified Family Law Specialist, mom of two, and someone who knows firsthand what it means to fight for what matters most: your family and your future.

For over 17 years, I’ve represented women — especially stay-at-home moms — in divorce, custody, and support matters across California. I understand the emotional and financial challenges that come with major life transitions, and I bring both professional skill and personal empathy to every case.

As the CEO and founder of Boyd Law, a statewide litigation firm with offices across California, I’m proud to lead an exceptional team of attorneys, paralegals, and legal professionals. Together, we handle complex family law and civil litigation matters with strategy, heart, and precision.

I also hold a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology, which helps me guide clients through the emotional side of litigation, not just the legal one. I know the psychology behind high-conflict relationships, the mindset of the “working man who thinks everything is his,” and how to uncover the truth when it comes to assets and income.

Above all, I believe every client deserves an advocate who listens, cares, and fights with intelligence and integrity. My goal is to help you move forward stronger, clearer, and ready for what’s next.
