FAQs
In February 1971, California became the first state to approve a legal certification program, known as the California Board of Legal Specialization (CBLS). The CBLS estimates that approximately 3% of practicing attorneys in California are certified by CBLS.
The process to become a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) is very scrupulous. The attorney must have five (5) years of experience and demonstrate substantial involvement in the practice of family law. Among other requirements, the attorneys must pass the legal specialist exam, demonstrate substantial involvement in family law, and complete continuing education requirements in the specialty area.
Each CFLS must demonstrate actual experience in each of the following areas of family law:
- Dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or nullity of marriage litigation
- Spousal support
- Division of community property
- Confirmation of separate property
- Taxation issues related to the dissolution of a marriage
- Contempt and/or enforcement proceedings
- Modification of support
- Restraining orders/domestic violence proceedings
- Child support
- Custody of children
- Psychological and counseling aspects regarding the dissolution of a marriage
- Mediation and/or negotiation of family law disputes
