📋 Case Overview

The firm represents Kaarthic Manickam in a family law matter against his wife, Pavitra Srinivasan. The representation, which began in June 2025, involves two parallel cases in Santa Clara County: a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) action (Case #23DV000127) and a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (Case #25FL001976). The court partially granted a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and set a hearing. After the firm filed and served both the DVRO and dissolution petitions, the opposing party retained counsel and filed Motions to Quash service in both actions, challenging the court's jurisdiction. The firm has since filed oppositions to these motions.
