In addition to emotional pain and financial stress, ending a marriage is legally a complex situation.
California gives individuals other options instead of divorce. These include a legal separation or annulment, depending on your circumstances.
In California, there are no-fault laws regarding divorce. This allows a person to file for divorce without showing that one spouse was at fault. According to California Family Code 2310, the grounds for divorce or dissolution of a marriage are Irreconcilable Differences. Divorces may be either uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on all family issues. A contested divorce is when the parties cannot agree on any of the issues and need a judge to help or decide.
If you and your spouse are talking about divorce, you will need the help of an experienced Orange County Divorce attorney who will help you determine financial support, child custody issues, and a fair property division agreement.
