Divorce FAQ

 How long does the divorce process typically take in California? (al tocar la pregunta se abre hacia abajo la respuesta)

The duration of the divorce proceedings in California may fluctuate based on the case’s complexity and the parties’ ability to come to an agreement on critical issues. Uncontested divorces, where both parties reach consensus on matters such as property division, child custody, and support, typically conclude more promptly, often within approximately six months. Conversely, contested divorces entailing disputes may require a more extended timeline, potentially extending beyond a year.

 What factors are considered in determining child custody arrangements during a divorce? (al tocar la pregunta se abre hacia abajo la respuesta)

Determinations regarding child custody in California are driven by the best interests of the child. Considerations encompass each parent’s capability to furnish a stable and nurturing environment, their openness to encourage a relationship between the child and the other parent, the child’s age and preferences (if relevant), and any past instances of domestic violence or substance abuse. Courts strive to guarantee the child’s safety, overall well-being, and ongoing emotional growth.

How is property divided during a divorce in California? (al tocar la pregunta se abre hacia abajo la respuesta) 

In California, the community property doctrine is followed, implying that assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally considered community property and are subject to an equal division. However, this doesn’t necessarily entail a strict 50/50 split. Courts weigh factors like each spouse’s financial contributions, the duration of the marriage, and the unique circumstances of the couple. Separate property, acquired prior to marriage or through gifts/inheritances, typically remains the individual spouse’s possession. It is often advisable to seek legal counsel to facilitate negotiations for a fair property division agreement and achieve a satisfactory.
