Michelle L. Hatherley Parr Brings Experience to Hatherley Family Law With more than 10 years of experience practicing family law in California, Michelle L. Hatherley Parr has joined Hatherley Family Law. This seasoned lawyer is now part of the team. Since 2016, she has joined her fellow partners in carrying the Certified Family Law Specialist designation (Hatherley Family Law, n.d.). Divorce is a hard situation that calls for legal assistance. Hatherley Family Law’s family lawyers have the expertise needed to assist you to keep your assets and provide you with reassurance. Our divorce lawyers are very familiar with family law and can help you negotiate the process. They may also suggest another course of action, depending on the reason for your separation. Reach out to our law firm to seek legal advice before making a life-altering decision. In California, a "no-fault" state, either party can divorce the other by claiming irreconcilable variations. The conduct of one spouse with another does not impact property settlements or asset division. However, the court considers both parents' behaviour when deciding child custody arrangements and schedules when children are involved (Witkin & Epstein, 2020).
