How to Approach a Divorce

If you are contemplating a D ivorce, or are separated from your spouse it may be time to consider filing for a Dissolution of Marriage. Often the thought is put on the side burner due to financial reasons, heightened emotions, feelings that the spouse will take everything you have worked so hard for,or concerns about the best interest of your children.

As a side note, keep in mind that California is a No-Fault state which means neither party is at fault in a dissolution of marriage, and issues such as adultery are not relevant in deciding on divorce issues.

When the time arrives and you decide that you want to move forward and obtain your freedom papers, the best approach but not always the most realistic approach is an amicable divorce. It can save thousands of dollars when both parties are agreeable to settling the issues at hand in their divorce.

If the friendly method just is not going to work out your goal should be to terminate your marriage in a manner in which you receive property, custody, support in the amount to which you are legally entitled. This advice should prevent you from spending far more than necessary.
