Law Offices of Matthew D. Roy

Divorce
Child Support
Family law matters can become heated, particularly when the spouses disagree about how property should be split or what it is worth, or when they dispute whether alimony or child support should be paid. California is a community property state, which means that the community estate should be divided equally unless there is a valid written agreement specifying otherwise. Community property includes any asset acquired or income earned by a married person while living with his or her spouse. Each spouse can keep his or her own separate property, which is anything acquired by a spouse before the marriage or acquired during the marriage by bequest, devise, or gift. Divorce
Child Custody and Visitation
A divorce is also known as a dissolution of marriage. In California, it is possible to get divorced on the basis of irreconcilable differences. This means that you do not need to prove that one spouse was at fault for the breakdown of the marriage. In order to qualify for a divorce, one spouse needs to have been a California resident for six months continuously before filing for a divorce, and they must have been a resident of the county in which the divorce petition is filed for three months continuously before filing. A divorce attorney can help Sacramento residents ensure that they meet these requirements. After filing for a divorce, the spouses must wait six months before the divorce can become final. Child Custody
Spousal Support
A person going through a divorce can ask a judge for spousal support, child support, child custody and visitation, as well as domestic violence restraining orders, as well as to divide the property acquired during the marital union.

Criminal Defense
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a debtor must develop a detailed debt repayment plan and submit it to bankruptcy court. The plan must propose to pay off most debts over 3-5 years. During the debt repayment period, creditors may collect the debts approved by the court. They cannot foreclose on the debtor’s secured property or a home that is contained in the plan during the plan period. After the repayment is complete, any remaining debts can be discharged by a bankruptcy court. This means that they would no longer be owed by the debtor. Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
You can be charged with DUI if you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, such that you are impaired. You can be charged with a per se DUI if your blood alcohol concentration is.08% or greater. A first DUI conviction is usually charged as a misdemeanor. The fines and the term of incarceration, if any, hinge partly on the number of prior convictions. In California, a DUI conviction can stay on your record and have an impact as a prior offense for 10 years. Probate
Robbery
In addition to serving as a Sacramento divorce lawyer, Matthew Roy handles the defense of criminal charges, such as assault and battery, robbery, and domestic violence. Crimes are charged as either misdemeanors or felonies in California. Misdemeanors are less serious than felonies; they are crimes that can be punished by up to one year in prison or jail. Certain crimes are considered wobblers, meaning that they can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor based on the circumstances. Alternatively, they can be charged as a felony but reduced by the sentencing court to a misdemeanor. DUI

Assault
Restraining Order

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Probate is a legal process in which a decedent’s debts and taxes are paid, their assets are distributed, and their financial and legal affairs are wound up. In some cases, real estate needs to be sold to allow assets to be appropriately distributed. Creditors need to be notified. This process is often expensive and time-consuming; it can take months or even years to complete probate. The probate court interprets the decedent’s instructions within a will and adjudicates any interests of heirs or people who might have claims against the estate. Disputes between heirs or between the executor and heirs can be resolved by the judge. Estate planning that incorporates wills and trusts can help facilitate the process and minimize or eliminate the need for probate. We handle wills, trusts, and estate administration.

Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a commonly used form of consumer bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy immediately halts all efforts by creditors to collect consumer debts. You can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if your current monthly income is less than the state median. If your income is greater than the state median, you need to pass a means test in order to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. People who cannot pass the means test must file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, rather than Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a bankruptcy trustee will take control of your property and liquidate any assets not protected by exemptions for the purpose of paying off your creditors. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
The United States Bankruptcy Code provides immediate relief for individuals facing financial difficulty. Bankruptcy can eliminate most debts or allow a person to restructure the debt in a manner where they can regain control of their finances. Filing a Bankruptcy petition immediately stops all attempts by creditors to collect on any debts. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code are therefore powerful tools designed to protect individuals from foreclosure, law suits, wage garnishments, and bank levies. Thousands of Sacramento area residents have turned to the Bankruptcy code for protection and used the law as an effective means to eliminate overwhelming credit card debt, medical bills, and unsecured second mortgages from their homes in Chapter 13.
