Navigate the Divorce Process
Understanding Your Divorce Case
If you are in the midst of a divorce or legal separation, you are likely
experiencing uncertainty about the future and the impact your divorce
will have on your family relationships. Divorce and legal separation can
also create disagreements over the division of property,
custody of children, and the amount of
child support or
spousal support that will be required. These issues can be extremely difficult to navigate
during the emotionally-charged process of divorce. Having the support,
advocacy, and counsel of a trusted legal professional will never be more
important than during this sensitive and personal legal matter.

Divorce Issues
In every divorce, you and your spouse will have to decide on how to divide marital property, assets, and debts. If you and your spouse care for a minor child, you will also face issues concerning child custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support. If you have a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement, some of these issues may be subject to its terms. If you and your spouse can agree on all the issues relating to your divorce, you can take advantage of the uncontested divorce process.
Contested Divorce
Contested divorces involve couples who cannot agree on the pertinent legal issues at hand and must find a way to reach a mutually satisfactory arrangement—otherwise, a judge will have to intervene and decide for you. In California, if you and your spouse cannot agree on the issues of your divorce, you may have to go to mediation. Our firm includes volunteer mediators for the Los Angeles Superior Court, who have extensive experience in helping divorcees find a mutual compromise.
Legal Separation
For various reasons, some clients prefer marriage separation instead of divorce. In the state of California, a married couple may enter into a separation agreement governing the rights and responsibilities of each party during the period of separation. We can develop legal separation agreements to help protect your interests while saving you time and money.
Grounds for Divorce in California
Like other states, California recognizes no-fault divorce based on the irremediable breakdown of the marital relationship. The only other divorce option in the state involves grounds of incurable insanity.
California also provides for summary dissolution, which is a streamlined divorce process for qualifying cases.
Qualifications for summary dissolution include:
- Marriages lasting no longer than five years
- No minor children
- No real estate
- Foregoing spousal support
- Specific financial restrictions as to property and debts
