Whether you need an initial consultation about divorce, a consulting attorney for mediation, a second opinion, or full legal representation, we have the skills and resources to assist you. In California, a divorce proceeding begins with a "Petition for Dissolution" of the marriage, and the marriage is ended by way of trial or by agreement of the parties.
There are a number of ways to reach that conclusion, including settlement/ non-litigation, mediation, and litigation. California separates property into two classes, community and separate, and California law requires a determination of whether a given asset qualifies as community or separate property. The distinction is crucial, and the parties do not always agree on an asset or debt's classification.
California bases custody determinations on "the best interest of the child." This generally means the court looks to safeguard the child's health and welfare, while preferring custody and visitation arrangements that provide for frequent and continuing contact with both parents.
