Family Litigation

Divorce in California

In California, there are two grounds for divorce. The most common is irreconcilable differences, which simply means that you and your spouse are no longer compatible. The second ground is filing for divorce on the grounds of “incurable insanity,” which requires medical proof and is much less common.

Once you have filed and served your spouse with divorce documents, there are several legal steps that need to be taken to reach agreement. These agreements include the division of property, spousal support payments, and child custody and visitation. If an agreement cannot be reached, you and your spouse may need to appear in court.

The division of community and separate property during a divorce can be a complex process. Joint property may include debts, incomes, accounts, and real and personal property acquired during the marriage. Mistakes during this stage in the divorce process can lead to costly consequences. It is important to seek the guidance of a skilled divorce attorney to help mediate any disputes that may arise. Steve Marcus is an experienced divorce lawyer who can provide the legal assistance you need during this difficult time.
