DISSOLUTION

Going Through A Divorce?

California is considered a “no fault” state, which means couples can divorce without blaming one another for ending the marriage which is designed to create a more amicable approach to the divorce proceedings.

California is also a community property state, which means that divorce issues are addressed differently than in any other state. Family law judges have very specific requirements and expectations regarding custody, valuation of assets, spousal support and equitable distribution of marital property and assets.

Divorce may be unlike anything you have ever been through before. The difficulty associated with confronting issues of custody and marital property will make divorce one of the most trying periods of your life. Divorce is obviously a stressful decision to both the adults involved, but also to children, extended family and friends. Finding an experienced attorney who understands California divorce law is an important decision that can help the process go a lot smoother for you and your children.

While our lawyers will always suggest alternative methods of ending a marriage that don’t involve litigation and a judge’s ruling, we recognize that in some cases Collaborative-Mediation just won’t work. Even in litigation, however, the goal is to find a sensible and satisfactory resolution without hostility. Our primary goal is to ensure that you and your family achieve positive results, even when faced with the most difficult of situations.

Protecting Your Rights, Interests and Your Family.

There are many important decisions to consider in your case for a final divorce settlement including:

• Child custody and child visitation, or modifying old court orders that no longer fit your life
• High net worth or high-asset divorce that protects what you have earned
• Spousal support or alimony and the equitable division of marital property, including complex property division
• Protecting professional practices through divorce • Preserving investments and your hard-earned assets in divorce

In addition to the important decisions and issues associated with divorce, persons going through the divorce process, must make these decisions in the context of maintaining a working parenting relationship with a former spouse.
