Divorce and Family Law
Uncontested divorces don't require the assistance of an attorney!
If you and your spouse (or partner) agree on the majority of issues in your divorce, you probably don't need an attorney. We can assist you in getting your divorce (called a dissolution in California) quickly and inexpensively. If you do need an attorney, we will be happy to refer you to one in the area.
What's the difference between a divorce, a legal separation, and an annulment?
A divorce (also called "dissolution of marriage" or "dissolution of domestic partnership") ends your marriage or domestic partnership. After you get divorced, you will be single, and you can marry or become a domestic partner again. If you have been married less than 5 years and have no children together, you may be able to get a Summary Dissolution. Call our office to see if you qualify.
If you get divorced, you can ask the judge for orders like child support, spousal support, partner support, custody and visitation, domestic violence restraining orders, division of property, and other orders. We can prepare all necessary paperwork for you.
For married persons to get a divorce, you MUST meet California's residency requirement. For information about residency for domestic partners, click here.
A legal separation does not end a marriage or domestic partnership. You can't marry or enter into a partnership with someone else if you are legally separated (and not divorced). A legal separation is for couples that do not want to get divorced but want to live apart and decide on money, property, and parenting issues. Couples sometimes prefer separation for religious reasons.
You do not need to meet California's residency requirement to file for a legal separation. If you file for a legal separation, you may later be able to file an amended petition to ask the court for a divorce-after you meet the residency requirements.
In a legal separation case, you can ask the judge for orders like child support, spousal support, partner support, custody and visitation, domestic violence restraining orders, or any other orders you can get with a divorce case.
An annulment (or "nullity of marriage" or "nullity of domestic partnership") is when a court says your marriage or domestic partnership is NOT legally valid. A marriage or domestic partnership that is incestuous or bigamous is never valid.
Annulments are very rare. If you ask to have your marriage or domestic partnership annulled, you will have to go to a hearing in front of a judge. Just because Renee Zellweger is getting one, doesn't mean you can!
Note: If you have children in common with the other party, you must ask the court to establish the parentage of that person.
Your spouse or partner has filed a response, there are contested issues, and you have no written agreement; or
Your spouse or partner filed the divorce, you responded, and your spouse or partner refuses to finalize your divorce whether or not there are contested issues.
Are you considering using the services of an on-line document preparer? Be aware that some of these services will only do the specified state forms. There are also county forms that MUST be filled out! Call our office to be sure you get everything you need to successfully get divorced.
Unlike some nearby legal document services, we will NOT charge you the full fee up front just to get the necessary forms.
If you need legal documents prepared for your separation, annulment, divorce, support, visitation or custody issues in California, feel free to call us at (805) 778-0025 or (866) 480-0171 toll free outside the LA area or email us at info@venturalegal.com.
