Understanding Divorce Law Helps You Make Better Decisions

In all family law matters, our service to you starts with education about your rights. We have heard many misconceptions about how a divorce will proceed and its likely outcome based on one spouse's infidelity or other conduct. It is important to realize that California is a no-fault divorce state. This means you do not have to establish a reason for why you are divorcing or what are often referred to as "grounds for divorce."

While the conduct of either spouse may become an issue in custody decisions and other aspects of the divorce, it is simply not true that one party's mistakes will enable the other party to secure the divorce settlement they want. In some cases, understanding these facts of California family law enables the former couple to reach to an uncontested divorce or mediated settlement.

Resolving Issues Amicably Is Necessary in Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorce can be a viable alternative in a wide variety of situations. For example:

• Many couples who have not accumulated significant assets choose uncontested divorce, recognizing that disputes over what they have can ultimately cost more than those assets are worth.
• A divorcing couple — regardless of how much property they own — may still communicate well enough to sit down and work out issues that could otherwise be contentious.

At the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth, A Professional Corporation, we put honesty and your best interests first. Simply stated, an uncontested divorce is almost always less expensive, substantially less time-consuming and less stressful than a contested divorce.

If you can avoid court and obtain a fast divorce, we will not recommend that you invest more than you need to. However, if child custody or other issues are disputed and contested divorce is required, rest assured we will represent your interests aggressively. Please contact us today for all the counsel and attention to detail your case requires.
