What issues are associated with divorce in Orange County California?

Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage) is the termination of a marriage by legal action requesting that the court and the state recognize the termination of the marriage. California is a "no fault" state which simply translated means neither spouse is required to prove "fault" or marital misconduct on the part of the other in order to procure the divorce. All that is required is a showing of irreconcilable differences.

The substantive issues commonly involved in divorces are usually the division of assets and debts, property (real and personal), community property, child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony), and attorney's fees.
