The Nature of the Process

Start to finish

California is a no-fault divorce state, which is a key element in the process of your divorce.  The "no-fault" status allows for individuals to file for a divorce without providing any particular reason or justification for their decision.  Many people have the misconception that they can only obtain a divorce if their spouse also consents.  This is simply not the case.  California State Law does not mandate that a person must stay married if that is not their will.  Here, we take care of this process from start to finish, we can secure restraining orders and even keep your location from your spouse if you fear for your safety or the safety of your children.  Within this process, the protection of your children is of the utmost importance to us.  Our firm's practice is based on a family model, attempting to protect the collective unity and health of your family.  A domestic partnership brings along with it vested interests in property, fiduciary duties, investment decisions, and in some cases, child custody and support issues.  Our firm is devoted to representing your legal rights to each of these elements of the partnership.  We use an intricate communication model with each of our clients, which is based upon information, strategic problem solving, and tactical legal advice.  Our offices are wholly concerned with our client's future success.  We attempt to counsel our clients in order to allow them to make the most informed, beneficial decisions.
