PRACTICE AREAS
A divorce or dissolution occurs when one of the two married persons decides that he or she no longer wants to be married and requests that the court return both to the status of unmarried persons. In California, there are only two reasons why a divorce can be obtained. They are 1) irreconcilable differences, or 2) incurable insanity. Cal. Fam. Code §2310. Although many times it may be tempting to think that the second reason applies, almost all divorces in California occur because of irreconcilable differences.
What are irreconcilable differences?
Simply put, a husband and wife have irreconcilable differences when he or she alleges that the marriage has broken down to the point where it can no longer be fixed. Generally, even if one side believes that the marriage can be fixed, but the other side does not, the Court will most likely find that this husband and wife can not work out their marriage.
How long does a divorce take?
There is no bottom line answer to this question. Legally, a divorce can not be granted until 6 months after the Petitioner (the party filing the divorce) has the Respondent (the party answering to the divorce) served. Cal. Fam. Code §2339. However, a resolution of all issues in a divorce may done prior to this six-month date, or it can occur after the fact. Every divorce case is different and a lot depends upon how closely you and your soon to be ex-spouse view the matters in your case.
What types of orders can a judge make in my case?
In a divorce case, the judge not only gets to decide as to your status of a married person, but also as to division of property and debts, spousal support, child custody and visitation, child support, attorney fees and costs, restraining orders, and restoration of former (maiden) name. to edit
