The process of divorce or legal separation is designed to be as fair to both sides as possible. In California, this means that each person should receive one half of their community property, that is, property acquired during the marriage. However, the rules only work so long as both spouses are fair, which means that they are honest and open about what they own and owe.
Parental relocation and family law
California parents who want to travel out of state or, especially, move to another state or country will need to first look over their child custody and parenting time orders.
We offer a range of family law services
Family law touches a lot of issues that can affect the lives of California residents. For instance, couples in Modesto may get involved in a divorce or other type of separation. In other cases, a couple may have never been in a legal union, but does have a child in common.
Custody and visitation issues in domestic violence cases
In an ideal world, parents in Modesto, California, and the surrounding area are able to get along and work together on child custody and parenting time, even if they are no longer themselves living together under the same roof.
California is a community property state. What does that mean?
After several months trying to make your marriage work, you and your partner have decided to divorce. The decision was painful, and the divorce process looks, if not painful, then certainly not pleasant.
