Family Lawyer Addressing Matters Related to California Dissolution of Marriage
When petitioning for dissolution of marriage, California does not require you to show grounds for the divorce. “No fault” divorce merely requires one spouse to demonstrate that “irreconcilable differences” have caused a permanent breakdown of the marriage. Also, California is a “community property” state, meaning that most assets or income acquired while married is split equally unless there is a written agreement that states otherwise. However, while resolving these points may seem simple, other problems are usually involved in the divorce process. Child Custody and visitation issues introduce another level of complexity to any divorce.
Planning for the future will require the separation of bank accounts, medical and life insurance as well as retirements and any other joint legal endeavors you may have undertaken while married. Determining spousal support or alimony is often another difficult issue to resolve, and one of the most highly contested matters in any divorce.
