Bakersfield Litigation Attorneys

Wade Litigation represents individuals, families and businesses in Bakersfield and throughout Kern County in Family Law, Probate Litigation and Civil Litigation. Our attorneys are litigators first: we prepare every matter as if it will be decided by a judge, which is what gives our clients leverage when a case can be settled and confidence when it cannot.

Bakersfield is the seat of Kern County, one of the largest counties in California by land area, with an economy built on energy and agriculture. Family law matters here frequently involve oilfield and agricultural employment with irregular income, long commutes between parents’ homes, and relocation requests tied to work, all of which affect how support and custody are decided.

Our Bakersfield family law attorneys handle divorce, child custody and visitation, child support and spousal support, domestic violence restraining orders, and the modification and enforcement of existing orders. Family cases carry emotional weight that other litigation does not, and we staff them with attorneys who practice family law every day.

Our Bakersfield probate litigation attorneys represent beneficiaries, trustees, executors and heirs in will contests, trust disputes, contested accountings, breach of fiduciary duty claims and elder financial abuse cases in Kern County.

Our Bakersfield civil litigation lawyers take on breach of contract, business and partnership disputes, real estate litigation and appeals. We approach every case with a clear strategy for the outcome our client needs, whether that is reached through negotiation, mediation or trial.

If you need a litigation attorney in Bakersfield, contact Wade Litigation today for a no-cost consultation. We will tell you plainly where your case stands and what it will take to win it.

Bakersfield Divorce Attorneys

A divorce in Kern County follows California’s no-fault, community property rules, but how those rules are applied depends on preparation and advocacy. Our Bakersfield divorce attorneys guide clients from the first filing through the final judgment: residency requirements, the six-month waiting period, temporary support orders, financial disclosures, the division of community property and debt, and spousal support. We handle uncontested dissolutions efficiently and contested cases, including high-asset and business-owner divorces, with the thoroughness they demand.

Bakersfield Child Custody Attorneys

California courts decide custody on the best interest of the child, with no preference for mothers or fathers. Our Bakersfield child custody attorneys help parents establish parenting plans, litigate legal and physical custody, respond to relocation requests, and obtain emergency orders when a child’s safety is at risk. We also represent parents in post-judgment modifications when circumstances change and in enforcement when the other parent will not follow the order.

Bakersfield Family Law Attorneys

Beyond divorce and custody, our Bakersfield family law attorneys handle child support and spousal support, domestic violence restraining orders, parentage actions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and the modification and enforcement of existing family court orders. Many of these matters arise inside a divorce; each can also stand alone, and each has its own statutes and deadlines that we manage for you.
