SHELLEY W.
DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE
There are many issues that arise when there is a request for a divorce. Experience matters when deciding how to proceed.
SPOUSAL SUPPORT
The court has wide discretion to set the amount of spousal support and there are many ways to argue the factors that benefit a party’s position
CHILD CUSTODY
The best interests of the child are what the court will consider in deciding where the child will live and how the child will be cared for.
CHILD SUPPORT
Calculation of the amount of child support requires knowledge of the law, computer software and experience at court.
"We retained Cheri Kadotani to represent us in a legal battle for guardianship of our 2-year old granddaughter. When the case finally got to trial, Cheri made quick work of the opposition. Her fees were reasonable and she handled the case with outstanding professionalism and tenacity. We most highly recommend her for any issue especially those involving family services."

DIVISION OF PROPERTY
There are many different types of property that need to be examined to determine what rights each party has to the assets and responsibility for the debts
ATTORNEY'S FEES & COSTS
The court has the authority to order the payment of the other party’s attorney’s fees and costs depending on the circumstances of the case.
MEDIATION
Sometimes resolving conflict can be achieved by understanding that there is a value in being able to decide issues on your own, giving you control over the outcome. Mediation can accomplish a resolution in a quick and less costly way while maintaining civility in the relationship between the parties.
RESTRAINING ORDERS
The consequences of the issuance of a restraining order are serious so legal advice and representation are very important.
"Ms. Kadotani has the astute ability to listen, and explore facts, and present a compelling case. She possesses a fine legal mind blended with a personal touch of compassion and sense of right. She has been a blessing in a very daunting and confusing system that needs a person with leadership skills and a heart. Cheri Kadotani is all aces on every account."
