Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions, and it can be traumatic for everyone involved. If you are involved in a divorce case, you need a trustworthy attorney on your side to ensure that your divorce is completed as quickly and painlessly as possible.
If you and your spouse no longer wish to be married, a divorce will end your union in the eyes of the law. Divorces in California may be contested or uncontested. In an uncontested divorce, both parties have agreed on all aspects of the settlement. On the other hand, a contested divorce occurs when the parties disagree on one or more issues. Some of the issues that must be addressed include:
These issues may be settled in mediation, or if no settlement can be reached, they will be settled in court.
Simple, uncontested divorce cases may sometimes be completed without the assistance of an attorney. However, if your divorce is contested or otherwise complicated, it is best to hire an attorney to represent you throughout the case. An attorney who has experience dealing with California divorce cases can ensure that your interests are accurately represented at all times and that your case doesn’t take any longer than necessary.
