Divorce
In California, as well as most states, divorce is “no fault.” Therefor, the object is to terminate the marital relationship while addressing the issues related to a divorce, such as, division of community property, allocation of community debts, issuing child support orders for the minor children and spousal support orders, if applicable.
Paternity
Where there are minor children and the parents are not legally married, the court must acquire jurisdiction so as to issue a paternity judgment for the purpose of formalizing the parents relationship to the minor child or children. Thereafter, the court will make orders for child support, custody and visitation.
Child custody and visitation
There are two types of child custody in California: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to which parent will make important decisions about a child’s wellbeing, such as choosing his or her residence, health care provider, school and child care provider. Physical custody refers to which parent the child lives with most of the time.
