Clifford Chigbu handles divorce, custody, child support, adoption, and domestic violence cases throughout Sacramento County. Your family's future is our priority.
Family law matters are among the most emotionally charged legal issues a person can face. Whether you're navigating a difficult divorce, fighting for custody of your children, or seeking protection from domestic violence, Clifford Chigbu brings both legal expertise and genuine compassion to every case.
California is a no-fault divorce state — you don't need to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. However, the process of dividing assets, determining custody, and establishing support can be complex and contentious. Clifford will protect your rights and work toward the best possible outcome for you and your children.
California courts make custody decisions based on the "best interests of the child." Clifford has extensive experience negotiating and litigating both legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (where the child lives) arrangements. He understands that these decisions will shape your children's lives for years to come.
California uses a statewide guideline formula for child support calculations. Clifford will ensure the formula is applied correctly and fight for modifications when circumstances change — job loss, income changes, or changes in custody time.
If you or your children are in danger, California provides emergency protective orders, domestic violence restraining orders, and priority consideration in custody matters. Clifford Chigbu will move quickly to protect you. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 first.
