Understanding the Divorce Process in California

Divorce in California begins with filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Either spouse can file, provided one of them has lived in the state for at least six months and in the same county for three months. Once the petition is filed and served, a mandatory six-month waiting period begins before the court can finalize the divorce.

Division of assets follows California’s community property laws. This means that marital assets and debts are typically divided equally unless there is a valid agreement otherwise. Property acquired before marriage or through a gift or inheritance usually remains separate, but properly identifying and valuing assets requires careful legal attention.

Child custody and support decisions can be the most emotionally charged part of a divorce. California’s family courts aim to prioritize the child’s best interests, focusing on creating a stable and healthy environment for them. Courts consider various factors, including the child’s relationship with each parent, the parent’s ability to care for the child, and the child’s own preferences if they are old enough to express them. Legal guidance helps ensure your parental rights and your child’s well-being are front and center.
