Answers to common questions about child custody laws, custody rights, court decisions, and modifying custody orders in California.
California is a no-fault state, and the marriage may be dissolved if the court finds that irreconcilable differences have led to a complete breakdown of marriage. The divorce will be finalized even if one spouse wants a divorce, but the other doesn't.
In California, the minimum waiting period for the divorce to be finalized is 6 months from the date when the petition was served to the other spouse. However, it may take much longer if the matters are contested. You may litigate in court or resolve these issues outside the courtroom, which can take months or even years. Our Christian family lawyers understand how difficult this situation is for you and your family. We will strive to resolve your case favorably as soon as possible.
You and your ex-spouse can decide a plan on how to divide marital property and debts. If you cannot achieve a resolution, the court will decide the matter for you. Under California's community property laws, all assets and debts acquired during marriage are subject to a 50-50 division between both spouses. Assets acquired before marriage or separate property are not considered community property and hence aren't subject to division.
The court follows the best interests of the child standard to decide custody. The court usually prefers an arrangement where the child has frequent and continuous contact with both parents unless contrary to the child's best interests. The parents may create a parenting plan if they can cooperate, or the court will create one. The court-ordered custody plan may range from both parents sharing custody equally to one parent having primary custody while the other getting visitation rights.
Mediation is a very effective option that can resolve differences more quickly and cost-effectively than court litigation. However, mediation is only viable when both parties are willing to cooperate, communicate well, and are ready to engage in good faith. It's important to have a family lawyer who can guide you on each aspect of family law and protect your rights.
