Family Law FAQ

Family law cases can be emotionally stressful, as they involve the relationships closest to you, such as with your spouse or children. If you are facing a divorce, you should have the legal support you need throughout the process, and you should not wait to consult with a family law lawyer in Roseville. Below are some family law FAQ’s.

How can I get a divorce in California?

In order to legally end your marriage, you must petition the proper court in California. California divorce laws include many requirements for a divorce, including residency requirements, stating proper grounds for the divorce, and a mandatory waiting period. You must also resolve certain matters prior to getting a divorce, such as:

  • Community property and asset division
  • Child custody and support
  • Spousal support

You can file for an uncontested divorce, in which you and your spouse agree on all relevant issues, or a contested divorce, which means you must work to resolve some issues or have the court resolve them for you. In either situation, you should discuss the case with a lawyer as soon as possible.

How will a divorce affect my children?

While divorce is stressful for you, it can be particularly hard on your children in some situations. Children have their lives uprooted in a divorce and often go from living with both parents to switching back and forth from one parent’s home to the other’s. There are many ways you can make the process easier on your kids, and a lawyer can help you resolve child-related matters as amicably as possible.

How can a family law attorney help me?

An attorney can assist you in many different ways during a family law case, including:

  • Helping you prepare for a case
  • Advising you of your rights under California law
  • Preparing and filing the necessary documents with the court
  • Helping to resolve all issues out of court when possible
  • Representing your interests at trial when needed
