Divorce & Family Law in Laguna Beach FAQs
1. How long does a divorce take in California?
The shortest time to finalize a divorce in California is six months from the date your spouse is served. However, it can take longer if there are disagreements over property, child custody, or support. Our team at RM Law Group will work efficiently to protect your rights while guiding you through the process.
2. How do courts decide custody and visitation?
When deciding custody, the court puts the child’s best interests first. Judges consider things like the child’s safety, emotional well-being, and which parent can provide a stable home. They also look at the child’s bond with each parent and, for older kids, their preferences. Our attorneys can help you present a strong case to protect your place in your child’s life.
3. How is child support determined?
California uses a formula based on both parents’ incomes, time spent with the child, and other costs like health insurance and daycare. While the formula sets a guideline, support amounts can vary based on individual circumstances. If your financial situation changes, we can help you request a modification.
4. Can I move with my child after a divorce?
If you want to move to another city or state with your child, you may need permission from the court or the other parent, especially if it affects their visitation rights. Move-away cases can be complex, but we can help you request court approval and show how the move benefits your child.
5. How is property divided in a divorce?
California follows “community property” laws, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are split equally. However, assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritances may be separate property. Our family lawyers in California will help ensure you get a fair division of property.
6. Can spousal support be changed after divorce?
Yes. If your income changes, you lose your job, or your financial situation shifts, you can ask the court to modify spousal support. If you’re having trouble making payments or believe the amount should be adjusted, we can help you request a fair change.
