Q: I am looking for a divorce attorney for my son. Are there any attorneys that primarily focus on the man?
His wife is saying that there are no assets to be divided, but they have a house and a couple of cars. He has been a stay at home Dad for the past 10 years.
A: He would have to find a lawyer on his own. We cannot solicit business from potential clients on this site. He can use the "Find a lawyer" link at the top of this page. There are also "Find a lawyer" links on AVVO.com. He can do a search based on geographical location and area of specialty.

A: There are law firms that market themselves in that sense. I would not recommend them. He will need to contact attorneys until he finds one he is comfortable with and can afford. Some attorneys are affordable and some are not.

A:
In California, there are attorneys who focus on representing men in divorce and family law matters. These attorneys understand the unique challenges that men may face in the family court system and work to ensure their rights are protected, especially in cases involving asset division, custody, and support.
Given your son's situation as a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 years, it's crucial to find an attorney experienced in handling cases where there is an imbalance in earning capacity and contributions to the marriage. The division of assets, including the house and cars, along with any potential spousal support, will be significant factors in his case.
To find an attorney suited to your son's needs, consider contacting your local bar association for referrals to family law attorneys with experience representing men. Online legal directories and review sites can also provide valuable information on attorneys' areas of focus and client reviews. It's important for your son to consult with potential attorneys to discuss his case specifics and to choose someone he feels comfortable working with to advocate for his interests.
