Key Issues to Consider in a Divorce Process

There are many matters to be considered in a divorce. You and your spouse must come to an agreement regarding issues including spousal support, child support, child custody and visitation, property division, and more. Protective orders may need to be set in place if domestic violence or child abuse took place during your marriage.

Understanding Visitation Rights and Child Support

No. Even if your ex stops paying child support, you do not have the right to disregard any existing visitation or custody orders. Denying access to your child is parental alienation, which can result in serious consequences. If your spouse stops paying child support, you need an experienced attorney who can help your fight for your child support agreement to be upheld.

Filing for Divorce in California: Residency Requirements

You can only file for divorce in California if either you or your spouse are residents of the state. Either you or your spouse must live in California for at least six months and the county in which you are filing for three months before you may file for divorce.

Ensuring the Validity of Your Prenuptial Agreement

There are various guidelines that must be followed in order to ensure your California prenuptial agreement is valid. Both parties must voluntarily sign the prenuptial agreement. One party may not influence the other in any way, including forcing, threatening, or misinforming them. Your prenuptial agreement must not favor one party over the other to the point that it is completely unfair. Any agreements that violate the law will be considered invalid.
