Family Law in Barstow, CA
We support families in Barstow with practical, settlement-oriented representation across divorce, custody, support, property division matters.
Serving Barstow's Desert Community
Located approximately 35 miles from our Victorville office (about a 35-minute drive via I-15), Barstow sits at the crossroads of Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 in the heart of the Mojave Desert. As a historic railroad and transportation hub with a strong military presence through Fort Irwin and the Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow presents unique family law considerations.
Many Barstow families face challenges related to military deployments, shift work in logistics and transportation, and the realities of raising children in a remote desert community. Whether you're stationed at Fort Irwin, work for BNSF Railway, or are part of the civilian community, we understand the distinct pressures that affect marriages and custody arrangements in Barstow.
Your family law case may be heard at the Barstow Courthouse (235 E Mt View St, Barstow) for certain matters, or at the Victorville High Desert District Court. We handle cases at both locations and can advise you on the proper venue for your specific situation. For clients in remote areas, we also facilitate remote court appearances when permitted, reducing the need for travel.
Legal Coaching for Barstow Residents
Given Barstow's distance from major legal services and the self-sufficient nature of many desert communities, our legal coaching services are particularly valuable. This option allows you to handle routine aspects of your case while receiving professional guidance on critical decisions, document preparation, and court procedures. It's cost-effective and respects your independence while ensuring you don't navigate the family law system alone.
We offer phone and video consultations to minimize travel time, with in-person meetings available at our Victorville office when needed. Our goal is to provide accessible, practical legal support that fits the realities of desert living.
