has been accredited by the State Bar, and is at least equally demanding as the

California attorneys certified as specialists must pass a written
examination in their specialty field, demonstrate a high level of experience in
the specialty field, fulfill ongoing education requirements and be favorably
evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with their work.
An applicant must demonstrate that, within the five years immediately
prceding submission of the written application, he or she has been
substantially involved in the practice of family law, which shall include
actual experience in each of the following areas:
- Restraining orders/domestic violence proceedings;
- Dissolution of marriage, legal separation, or nullity of marriage litigation;
- Custody of children
- Child support;
- Spousal support;
- Modification of support;
- Division of community property;
- Confirmation of separate property;
