Can I get a divorce if my spouse doesn't agree?
Yes, you can get a divorce in California even if your spouse doesn't agree to it because California is a “no-fault” divorce state.
How can I protect my assets in a divorce?
California is a community property state. This means that generally, all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are owned equally by both spouses. In a divorce, these are typically divided 50/50. Prenuptial Agreement, a contract created before marriage that outlines how assets will be divided in case of divorce can protect assets you owned before the marriage or inheritances you expect to receive. Also, assets owned before the marriage, gifts, and inheritances received during the marriage are generally considered separate property and are not subject to division.
What is spousal support (alimony), and how is it determined?
It's intended to help the lower-earning spouse maintain the standard of living they enjoyed during the marriage, especially if they have sacrificed their career or education for the family. The Court considers various factors outlined in Family Code Section 4320, including the standard of living, earning capacity, duration of the marriage, age and health, etc.
What factors are considered in determining child custody and visitation?
When determining child custody and visitation in California, the court's primary concern is always the best interests of the child. To make this determination, the court considers a variety of factors, as outlined in California Family Code Section 3011, including the Child's Health and Safety, the Child's Relationship with Each Parent, the Ability of Each Parent to Provide Care, Parental Fitness, etc.
How can I modify an existing child custody or child support order?
Modifying an existing child custody or child support order in California requires demonstrating a significant change in circumstances since the last order was issued. Child Custody: A change in the child's needs, a parent's circumstances (e.g., relocation, change in work schedule), or concerns about the child's safety or well-being may warrant a modification. Child Support: Changes in either parent's income, the child's needs (e.g., increased medical expenses), or the custody arrangement can justify a modification.
