In California, divorce is a "no fault" state, meaning that either spouse can elect to terminate the marriage, whether or not both parties are in agreement, and regardless of what went wrong during the marriage.
A divorce legally terminates the marital status of both parties and requires spouses to divide the assets and debts they have acquired during the course of the marriage.
Where children are involved, a divorce will address custody related matters and ongoing support.
One of the most daunting aspects of a divorce is the uncertainty it entails.

Although every situation is unique, below is an overview of the divorce process in California.
The date of separation determines the date that all earnings, acquisitions and liabilities are designated as each party's respective separate property.
For example, anything you do from which you derive income is considered your separate property from the date of separation.
Conversely, any money you spend will be charged against you as a separate property obligation.
In certain situations, the date of filing for divorce is the date of separation.

By far, the most stressful and agonizing period in one's life is determining how to share custody of your child.
There are so many moving pieces to address, and on top of it all, the legalities of custody division can become complex.
For starters, you should have a basic understanding for how custody is apportioned under California Law, and what it means.
Legal custody addresses the parents' right to make decisions regarding a child's health, education, and overall welfare.
Physical custody determines where a child will live and who is responsible for daily childcare.

In California, payment of child support is of paramount importance.
That is because the public policy for child support ensures that a child is taken care of until he or she reaches the age of 18 and completes high school.
The purpose of child support is to afford children the basic necessities of life, and allows the child to share in the standard of living of both parents.
Child support primarily looks at two factors- the parties' custody time and income.
Conceivably, this is why child support often becomes a contested matter.

Family law mediation is an excellent, cost-effective tool for dissolving a marriage privately and amicably.
Mediation can address all, or some, of the issues involved in a dissolution, including division of assets and debts, child custody, child and spousal support, and other ancillary issues.
In a best case scenario, a complete settlement agreement can be reached and filed with the court without you ever having to appear in court.
Alternatively, mediation can at least reduce the overall time spent in the courtroom and, in turn, the associated litigation costs.
