At the outset it should be said that even now, when serial marriages and divorces are commonplace a divorce is a traumatic thing to go through for most people. By far the majority of couples get married because they believe that together they will be happy and will build a family and a home together. Marriages do break down and a great many end in divorce. This is often a time of great passion with sadness, anger and bitterness being common emotions expressed.
Divorce in California is a "no fault" action. In other word the court is not interested in determining or apportioning blame. They are interested in upholding the provisions of family law and ensuring that the divorce settlement is fair and that all dependent children are taken care of and their rights upheld.
A divorce in California is therefore possible without an attorney if both parties are in agreement. But this is exceptionally ill advised. The dissolution of a marriage has many many complications, and the longer the marriage has lasted the greater there are likely to be.
For starters one may have forgotten about a joint insurance or retirement policy, or the credit card balances, silly disputes can arise over the division of wedding gifts or even bed linen and the family entertainment center. In addition the whole matter of family law is a complicated business and if you are untutored it is more than possible that the outcomes are less than satisfactory, and, once the divorce is decreed, will be permanent.
So if one is considering a divorce in San Diego and Orange County it is strongly advised that at the outset of proceedings one consults with San Diego Divorce Lawyers who offer a free first consultation. There are all sorts of aspects to be considered. The first is of course; do you really want to get divorced and have you done everything possible to save the marriage? This is important because the only grounds for divorce in California are irreconcilable difference (unless one can prove incurable insanity).
A San Diego Divorce Attorney is extremely experienced in these matters. The firm of Boyd Contreras LLP practices in the family law field as well as in other areas. But this article is about marriage dissolution and before one gets into negotiations with the spouse and his or her attorneys a consultation is advisable so that the following aspects (amongst others) can be considered.
Are the marital assets to be divided of significant value?
Is there a Prenuptial Agreement (Any post nuptial agreements should be tabled as well)
Are there minor children? Child support? Custody? Visitation rights?
Is Spousal support going to be claimed?
The Rights to the marital home? Property distribution?
Marital debts?
Insurance Policies? Retirement plans?
The list could go on and many of these will have sub clauses and other issues to be considered. They should be clear in your mind before the, unfortunately often emotionally charged, formal negotiation with the spouse and attorneys.
