Helping Families Since 2014
Ms. Blunt opened her practice in 2014 after years of exclusively practicing family law in prominent firms in both Los Angeles and Ventura counties. However, Ms. Blunt felt that her clients would at times get lost within the framework of larger firms, and wanted to be able to guide and comfort her clients through each step of their case. It was for that reason she chose to open her own practice.
Our Practice

Consulting Attorney
Navigating your family law matter alone is intimidating and stressful. Hiring a consulting attorney will reduce your legal fees, while moving your case forward.
Modifications
A modification of support and/or custody refers to the legal process of requesting changes to existing arrangements.
Child & Spousal Support
California courts use a formula to determine child & spousal support. The Dissomaster calculator is a program used to determine an individuals net spendable income. It’s of utmost importance to properly report your income.
Mandatory Financial Disclosures
In a divorce or support matter, Family Code §2103 requires each party to provide the other financial disclosures.

Honest Communication
Our firm is built on transparency. Transparency requires constant communication with a client. The unknown is scary, but when clients are informed, they can prepare for the unknown.
Negotiate, Not Litigate
The court system is useful when required. However, litigation is expensive, accomplishes little at a time, and drags a case on. We advocate for settlements through negotiations, not endless litigation and motions.
