California Family Law & Divorce Info

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. Proper preparation of a divorce is therefore important so you will need to create a file for your family law matter. Contact an Orange County divorce attorney in our office for help with your family law matter.

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. Contact an Orange County divorce attorney in our office for help with your case.
