The Law Offices of John H. Tannenberg, A.P.C.

Meeting the Family Law Needs of San Diego County for Over 30 Years

Family law matters often involve some of the most emotional and difficult issues people face in life. At the Law Offices of John H. Tannenberg, A.P.C., our approach is to listen carefully, understand your circumstances and goals, and then explain your legal options so you can make informed decisions.

Whether you face a relatively uncomplicated divorce, without children or significant property, or a more complex divorce, involving significant marital assets, a business, or deep disagreements over child custody and support issues, we have the experience and skill to help you resolve your matter either through litigation or mediation.

Call 619-894-8251, toll-free 1-888-312-3408, for a free telephone consultation regarding your divorce, property rights, child custody, support issues or other family law concerns. You can also contact us online.

After 5pm please e-mail the attorney and he will get back to you within 24 hours.

We are a firm that emphasizes problem-solving. For many individuals, mediation is a viable, less expensive and less emotionally-draining alternative to litigation. However, as experienced litigators, we also recognize that the interests of some clients will be best protected in the courtroom.

Tailored and Effective Solutions for a Diverse Clientele

We serve a diverse clientele, including professionals, business owners, salaried employees, members of the military and military spouses, across San Diego County in the following:

  • Divorce and property division: We handle contested and uncontested divorces, including high-asset divorces. We help you understand issues surrounding the characterization, valuation and division of community property and separate property so that you will have a realistic expectation of what a court will do in dividing your assets.
  • Child custody and visitation: We help you balance your child's best interests with your parental rights in negotiating parenting and visitation agreements.
  • Child and spousal support: We help ensure accurate and complete financial data shapes fair child support or spousal support awards.
  • Divorce mediation and alternative dispute resolution: For many, mediation is a faster, less expensive and less stressful alternative to traditional litigation. We help you determine if this option is right for you.
  • Modifications and enforcement: We help parties obtain court enforcement or modification of child custody, child support or spousal support orders.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: We draft and review agreements allowing parties to determine how their assets and liabilities should be divided in the event the relationship does not work out.
