Your California Divorce Options

Uncontested Divorce:

An uncontested divorce is the most straightforward and amicable option. Both spouses agree on all key issues, including property division, child custody, and support, without the need for court intervention.

Criteria: This option is suitable when both parties are willing to cooperate, communicate openly, and reach a mutual agreement on all divorce-related matters.

Contested Divorce:

In a contested divorce, spouses cannot agree on one or more aspects of their divorce, such as property division, child custody, or support. These disputes often require court intervention and legal proceedings.

Criteria: When spouses are unable to reach a consensus on crucial issues, a contested divorce is necessary. It typically involves negotiation, mediation, or litigation to resolve disagreements.

Default Divorce:

Description: A default divorce occurs when one spouse files for divorce, and the other party does not respond within the specified time frame. The court may proceed with the divorce based on the filing spouse’s terms.

Criteria: Default divorce is an option when one party is unresponsive or uncooperative but can also result from genuine unawareness of the divorce proceedings.

Summary Dissolution:

Summary dissolution is a simplified divorce process available to couples with very few assets, no children, and a short marriage. It streamlines the divorce process and involves fewer paperwork requirements.

Criteria: Couples seeking a summary dissolution must meet specific criteria, including a marriage duration of five years or less, limited joint assets and debts, and no children from the marriage.

Legal Separation:

Legal separation allows spouses to live separately and formalize their separation agreement legally. It addresses issues like spousal support and property division without ending the marriage.

Criteria: Legal separation is an option when couples want to remain married for personal, religious, or insurance reasons but no longer wish to live together.

Choosing the right type of divorce in California depends on your unique circumstances and willingness to cooperate with your spouse. Call us today to get your case evaluation and ensure that your divorce and family process aligns with your specific needs and goals.

Our Law Firm's Approach to Divorce

Not all lawyers have the same philosophy when it comes to your dissolution of marriage. For some attorneys, your case is a legal proving ground, an opportunity for them to do battle with another party and to deliver as much as possible in a “victory.” For others, it’s a chance to take a case before a judge and to litigate the best possible outcome for your future.

There are clients for whom each of these approaches makes sense. However, it’s important you are clear about what you want from your case before you choose an attorney. Los Angeles divorce cases that are conducted in a combative manner can cost you a lot of money in legal fees, and they can be particularly destructive to your relationship with your spouse or children. More fighting = more money.

Also, cases that go before a judge present much more risk than cases that are managed through negotiation and settlement. In a courtroom, the judge hears the evidence and arguments and makes a decision based on external criteria. Alternatively, at the negotiating table, both parties work together to find common ground, which ultimately can give you more of what you want.

Our approach is to protect the rights and general wellbeing of our clients while avoiding unnecessary legal battles. Clients trust us to do this on their behalf because we take the time and care to explain their options, talk through their questions, and make a recommendation that best suits their situation.

Typically, we prefer to settle cases. Our clients and legal team enter these conversations well prepared with the legal and financial information to achieve our goals for you. In cases where the opposing party is inflexible on our most important issues of the case, we prepare a formidable litigation strategy, and will successfully represent you in court to achieve the best possible resolution.
