DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE
In California, a dissolution of marriage is a “no fault” concept. If either party is willing to testify that irreconcilable differences have entered into the marriage which have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage, a judgment of dissolution will be entered.
The process begins by filing a petition in the Superior Court of the county in which the parties have resided for at least three (3) months prior to the filing of the petition. The petition sets forth that irreconcilable differences have entered into the marriage and that there is no hope for reconciliation. Furthermore, the petition sets forth, if applicable, a request for spousal support, child support, attorney’s fees, costs, and/or a request that the community property be divided according to law.
If you are considering a dissolution of marriage, or have been served with papers, please contact the attorneys at CC Weaver & Associates. We will advise you as to all your options during this difficult time.
