Every divorced couple is entitled to legal rights during the process and after the divorce is final. First off, it allows a spouse to file for a divorce on the basis of certain incompatible issues – better known as ‘grounds for divorce’.
In California, both spouses have rights on the property and assets acquired during their marriage – they are divided on a 50/50 basis. Depending on your specific circumstances and length of your marriage, spousal support may be awarded to the spouse who needs and requires it most. If children are involved, the issue of child custody, child support and visitation are important. Child support is probably the number one issue to be resolved to ensure that the children’s financial needs are fulfilled by each parent.
