It is not unusual for a divorce to address issues pertaining to child custody and visitation, child support, temporary spousal support and permanent spousal support, characterization, valuation and division of property, a determination regarding the validity of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement or even domestic violence.
Child support proceedings in California are almost exclusively determined by using a computer software program that bases child support on the income of each party and the amount of time that each parent has custody of their children.
Unfortunately, California's child support guidelines are so complicated that they have earned unfavorable comparisons to the Internal Revenue Code's taxation provisions.
Given the use of a complex formula to determine child support in California, a dispute regarding the calculation of child support is likely to focus on the numbers input into the program.
The most important issue for any parent going through a divorce is a determination of the child custody and visitation schedules and orders to be made for their children.
Each county has somewhat different child custody procedures.
California law generally requires that the parents participate in mediation before the Court will make orders with regards to child custody and visitation.
In some counties, Santa Clara County being one example, the mediation process is confidential and to the extent that mediation does not result in an agreement the proceedings remain confidential.
Unfortunately a divorce, dissolution of domestic partnership or paternity case does not always end when a final judgment is filed with the Court.
Particularly with child custody and visitation issues, child support issues and spousal support issues it is necessary to revisit and modify the orders set forth in the judgment months, years or even decades after the fact.
Post-judgment modification proceedings may involve a modification of child custody and visitation orders or the termination or modification of child support or spousal support.
