Divorce Lawyer

Divorces in Los Angeles are subject to California divorce law, which can be unique and also complicated. California applies the “community property rule” to divorce and the division of assets, which means that any income or marital assets (homes, businesses, investments, etc.) that are acquired during the marriage are divided equally between the two spouses. Community property law can be unforgiving to spouses who are the primary wage earner in the family. Learning what the exceptions to marital property are and other ways to protect your individual assets can go a long way in ensuring that your divorce settlement is financially fair to both parties.

  1. Guides to hire a Divorce Lawyer in Los Angeles and nearby cities Divorce is usually an extremely traumatic time in the lives of the parties involved. As much as everyone hoped the marriage would be successful and last many years, once it falls apart or “hits the rocks” one or both parties realize the need to end it and move on in their own lives. This is something that needs to be done according to the proper legal procedures; otherwise the legal implications may be long lasting and negative for one or both spouses. If you are considering sending your union, it is advisable to talk to a Divorce Lawyer in Inglewood, Pasadena, Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach in order to determine what your options are and how to approach the legal issues. If the marriage is not ended legally, or if the spouses simply stop co-habiting, the legal status remains unresolved and they are still, in fact married on paper. This can wreck havoc later on, even years down the line, if they are married in community of property or the anti nuptial contract still applies. They would then need to prove that the marriage has stopped existing, or that their intention to separate was genuine. Just as the martial union needs to be solemnized officially, so too does its termination and this is where a Divorce Lawyer Torrance, Pasadena, Santa Monica or Manhattan Beach can come to your aid.

  2. Choosing the right attorney for your divorce takes some thought. You need to choose a lawyer who has enough experience in the area of divorce law specifically. Where the spouses have developed an atmosphere of attrition and hostility, the conflict over financial rights or assets in the joint estate can be very nasty. An inexperienced attorney. Might not be able to contest the case effectively, leading to the financial detriment of the spouse they are representing. Jokes about divorce settlements or alimony are common, but if your lawyer is incompetent you might be left with little or nothing. At the same time, the lawyer also needs to be sensitive to the rights of parental custody, where kids are involved.

If your lawyer bungles the case you may end up with years of regret and no legal right to spend time with your kids. Your former spouse may then legally deny you any access to them, and they will grow up not knowing you or even wanting to see you. These are the issues that you should keep in mind as you look for a divorce attorney. These basic guides to hire a Divorce Lawyer in Inglewood, Pasadena, Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach should assist in choosing the right one.
