Guiding You Through Divorce In The Manner That Works Best For You

Helping You Choose The Right
Process For Your Family

Dissolution: The formal phrase for divorce is “dissolution of marriage.” A marriage must be dissolved through the court system.

Legal separation: When a couple gets divorced, they are completely ending their marriage. But in a legal separation, the couple is still married, although living apart. A judgement of legal seperation divides assets and establishes support and custody ordes, the same as in divorce.  Perhaps most importantly, someone who is legally separated from his or her spouse is not free to remarry.

No-fault divorce: California allows you to file for no-fault divorce, meaning you are not required to prove your partner was at fault in some way. You’ll often hear the phrase “irreconcilable differences” in this context, meaning rather than listing a specific failing of one or both people, you simply tell the court the marriage is not working out.
