The Divorce Process<\/h3>\n
Community Property<\/h4>\n
California is a community property state. “Community Property” is in essence all property acquired during marriage and it belongs equally to both spouses. There are certain exceptions but, in general, all property acquired during that marriage is presumed to be community property. Unless the parties agree to something else, the community property (or its value) is divided equally in a divorce. As a spouse you may be entitled to:<\/p>\n
\n
- A portion of your spouse\u2019s retirement account or pension<\/li>\n
- A portion of your family home regardless of whom is named on the deed<\/li>\n
- A portion of the personal property owned by the community<\/li>\n
- A portion of the value of your spouse\u2019s business<\/li>\n
- A portion of the value of your spouse\u2019s professional practice goodwill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Debts and Obligations<\/h4>\n
In California during marriage, the marital community is responsible for all debts of either spouse, whether incurred before or during marriage. However upon divorce, the debts of the spouses, which were incurred before marriage, will be confirmed to the spouse who incurred the debt. It is very important to make sure that your debts are fairly settled and assigned, so that when you start over you do not pay what you should not have to.<\/p>\n

The single concern is what is best for the children. Custody these days does automatically go to the mother. In fact, more and fathers are receiving primary custody. In regard to the children, both parents have the same rights. It is not uncommon for the order to order 50\/50% custody if both parents are fit and the circumstances are right. This is because it is important for both parents to have frequent, meaningful time with the kids.<\/p>\nDivorce is hard enough on children, and we share your concern that it not be made any harder. We can help you by advocating to ensure that the court\u2019s decision is sensitive to your child\u2019s need for stability during this troubled time.\u00a0We always advise our clients to keep their children’s best interest in mind. We encourage them not to use the kids to punish their spouse. It is always best if the parties can separate their emotions from the custody issue and realize that it is best for the kids to have both parents in their lives.<\/p>\nChild Custody Video<\/h3>\nWe are sure that you have more questions about child custody.
