Understanding the Divorce Process 

A divorce is a legal procedure that serves as the official termination of a marriage or civil partnership. It encompasses the dissolution of the legal and financial responsibilities between the spouses or partners and signifies the end of their marital or partnership status. Divorce aims to resolve irreconcilable differences or relationship breakdowns, enabling both individuals to pursue separate paths and start anew. 

Comprehensive Divorce Services We Provide 

At the Law Office of J. David Munoz, we will work to develop the best possible solutions for all aspects of your divorce, which may include:

  • Child custody and visitation: Court orders determine where your child will live, how parenting time will be split, and to what degree each parent gets to make decisions about their child’s life. We will work to ensure your parental rights are protected while advocating for your children’s welfare.
  • Child support: A number of factors are used to calculate child support payments, from each parent’s income to each child’s particular needs. We will seek an order that’s fair to all parties.
  • Distribution of property: The division of your home and other assets often depends on whether property is owned by a couple or by just one spouse. We will help you seek a fair division of the marital estate.
  • Division of marital debts: Both spouses may be accountable for debts accrued by the couple, or one partner may be found to be more responsible.
  • Spousal support and temporary support: Whether you seek spousal support (also known as alimony) on a permanent or temporary basis, or must pay it, we will seek a fair determination so divorce doesn’t leave you financially strapped.

With commitment and conviction, we argue for fair arrangements, always keeping in mind your best interests and those of your children.

Is California a No-Fault Divorce State?

Yes, California is a no-fault divorce state. This means that to obtain a divorce in California, neither spouse needs to prove fault or wrongdoing. The only requirement is to demonstrate "irreconcilable differences" or a "permanent breakdown of the marriage." Essentially, if one or both spouses believe that the marriage cannot be saved and there are irreconcilable differences, they can file for divorce without providing specific reasons or faults.
