California has a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date the responding spouse is served before a divorce can be finalized. Contested cases involving custody or property disputes can take longer; an uncontested divorce can often be completed close to the six-month minimum.
California courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering health, safety, welfare, and the nature of each parent's relationship with the child. Courts generally favor frequent and continuing contact with both parents where it is safe and appropriate.
Child support in California is set by a statewide guideline formula based on each parent's income, the percentage of time each parent has the child, and certain allowable deductions. We help ensure incomes and timeshare are calculated accurately so the result is fair.
California is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are divided equally. Separate property — generally what you owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance — stays with the owning spouse.
Even when spouses agree, a lawyer helps ensure paperwork is filed correctly, support and property terms are fair and enforceable, and your rights are protected so the judgment holds up over time.
