??A family law attorney's proper use of the "X-Spouse Program" in high-net-worth cases is critical.?? ??So, where can Criminal Defense and Family Law Financial Crimes Intersect??? Consider the "X-Spouse Ambush" which may occur when a family law client, believing they have structured their financial affairs properly, suddenly finds their tax refund seized, their accounts garnished, or even faces criminal contempt charges for failure to pay support, without warning. Family law attorneys representing high-net-worth clients know that financial disputes in divorce can be complex. What happens when an unexpected enforcement action blindsides a family law attorney's client? Enter the X-Spouse Program: a powerful tool used by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to collect unpaid spousal support, child support, and tax debt, sometimes in ways that devastate high-net-worth individuals and their businesses. If a family law client is not forthright about their finances. Or, if they have engaged in creative but questionable financial maneuvering, they could be walking into a legal minefield. Many financial crimes, like tax evasion (RTC § 19706) and perjury (PC § 118), require intent (i.e., knowingly misleading authorities). Potential defenses: ??"Innocent Misunderstanding" ??High-net-worth individuals frequently rely on financial professionals to prepare. ??"Client Lacked Willfulness" Examples: ??Errors were caused by complex tax planning, not fraud. ??Misreporting was due to an accountant’s miscalculation, not intentional deceit. ??Financial disclosures were inadvertently incomplete, not willfully false. ??If discrepancies arise in divorce proceedings, it can be argued the client acted in good faith based on incorrect guidance. ??Final Takeaway: Criminal defense attorneys need family law cooperation to correct financial discrepancies before they trigger prosecution. #FamilyLaw #HighNetWorthDivorce #DivorceLawyer #SpousalSupport #ChildSupport #DivorceSettlement #AssetProtection #LegalStrategy Disclaimer: Our messages are meant to invoke thought and inspire.

??Where Criminal Defense & Family Law DVROs Intersect?? Due Process is a topic amongst Family Law and Criminal Defense lawyers as it relates to restrictions on defense discovery in a Family Law Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) matter under Family Code Section 6309. It is critical that an accused has the family law and criminal attorney assess their case to determine whether the accused will assert their 5th Amendment right to remain silent or motions should be made to protect the accused from testifying at all until the criminal case is resolved. A defense attorney has several options for their client to avoid testifying in the DVRO case before the criminal case is resolved which usually involves the same parties and same facts. Final Thoughts: Defending a client in a DVRO hearing requires a proactive approach, especially when facing a forced deposition. Understanding the limitations on discovery, leveraging protective motions, asserting constitutional rights, and strategically negotiating alternatives can make all the difference in shielding a client from unnecessary harm. As a 20+ year criminal defense attorney, it is my role is to anticipate aggressive tactics and counter them with smart, strategic moves to ensure my clients’ rights remain protected. If you’re handling a DVRO case and need insights on blocking or limiting depositions, let’s connect and discuss how to push back effectively. #FamilyLaw #DVRODefense #LegalStrategy #ProtectYourClient Disclaimer: Our messages are meant to invoke thought and inspire.

??H-1B Visa Lottery Process?? There are high-stakes regarding IMMIGRATION CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINAL CHARGES. My criminal defense law firm works with immigration attorneys to handle this intersection of the law where a single criminal matter, even if not yet charged by the prosecution, can adversely affect a client's immigration status (like being on an H-1B work visa). Check out the OCBA training March 4, 2025, entitled "H-1B VISA 2025: ESSENTIAL UPDATES AND REGISTRATION GUIDE. This informative training is about an in-depth exploration of the H-1B Lottery Process, including regulatory updates from attorneys with the latest insights and strategies to navigate the complexities of the H-1B visa system. My firm represents victims of a spouse who is a H-1B work visa holder. "Crimmigration" is legal jargon used because there’s no clean line between criminal law and immigration law anymore — they overlap constantly, and a single criminal case can destroy someone’s immigration status in ways that most regular defense attorneys might not even think about. We are among attorneys who handle both criminal defense and work with immigration attorneys to protect victims and visa holders' rights against deportation or other consequences a criminal allegation or charges may bring.
