WHAT ARE THE MOST CONTESTED MATTERS IN CALIFORNIA DIVORCES?

In most divorces, the disputes are about property division, child custody and support, and alimony. For more than two decades, our attorneys have helped our clients reach acceptable agreements and settlements regarding these issues and every other aspect of separation in California.

In a divorce, community property is divided equally. Community property is defined as all of the assets that are earned or acquired in a marriage except for property received exclusively by one spouse as an inheritance or gift. It sounds easy enough; however, figuring out who owns what can become quite complicated, especially if a separation is acrimonious. Protect your interests by working alongside an experienced divorce attorney who understands the legal nuances of property division.

When a divorcing couple has children, California courts prefer joint custody but you should always have your child’s best interest in mine. A noncustodial parent is usually granted visitation rights when one parent is awarded sole custody, although the court may require those visits to be supervised. When child support is determined, the earning capacity for each parent, the total number of children involved, and other pertinent factors will be considered. Alimony – spousal support – is figured out by the length of a marriage, along with the earning capacity, obligations, and responsibilities of each spouse.

I was referred to Paul Pimentel by a friend. I needed help with a family trust issue. Paul was extremely helpful. He was very professional and gave me excellent advice and he was very personable! Thank you Paul for the good work! – Nelda Martin
