Commonly Asked Questions

What should I consider before filing for divorce in California?

Filing for divorce is a significant decision that requires careful consideration of various factors. It's essential to evaluate whether divorce is truly the best option for both parties involved, including any children. Understanding the financial implications is also crucial, as divorce can impact your economic situation considerably; this includes asset division, alimony, and child support. It's advisable to consult with a legal advisor to gain clarity on the legal process and associated costs. Lastly, evaluate the logistics involved in adjusting to a new living arrangement, particularly how to navigate co-parenting if children are involved.

What is mediation, and how does it work in family law cases?

Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third party helps both parties reach an agreement on family law issues. It allows for open communication and can lead to more satisfactory outcomes without the need for a court trial.

What are the grounds for divorce in California?

California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that you don't need to prove that one spouse did something wrong. You can file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences or permanent legal incapacity.
