Attorney Brad Landon brings more than 29 years of legal experience to every case. A former Army Military Police officer and member of a Special Reaction Hostage Rescue Team, Brad approaches family law with discipline, strategic thinking, and a calm presence that clients rely on during difficult transitions.
After practicing at a large Los Angeles firm, Brad chose to build a boutique practice in Temecula — where he could work directly with clients and provide the personal attention that larger firms cannot. Whether you are navigating a contested divorce, negotiating a custody arrangement, or seeking a modification to an existing order, Brad and his team handle each case with the care and preparation it deserves.

In California, the minimum time for a divorce is six months from the date your spouse is served. However, contested divorces (though many couples find mediation resolves issues faster) involving custody disputes, property division, or support issues can take significantly longer. At Landon Law in Temecula, we work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while protecting your interests.
California courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody. Factors include each parent’s relationship with the child, the child’s health and safety, history of abuse, and the child’s ties to their community and school. Both legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child lives) are evaluated separately.
California is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are owned equally by both spouses. In a divorce, community property is generally divided 50/50. Separate property — assets owned before marriage, inherited, or received as gifts — typically remains with the original owner. Complex assets like businesses, retirement accounts, and real estate require careful valuation.
Yes. California allows modifications to child support, spousal support, and custody orders when there has been a significant change in circumstances. This could include a job loss, relocation, change in the child’s needs, or a change in income. Post-judgment modifications require filing a motion with the court.
Bring any existing court orders, financial documents (tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements), relevant correspondence, and a list of your questions and concerns.
