Divorces Are Rarely Smooth and Uncomplicated

Divorce is already a difficult and emotional time in your life. You are ending a legal relationship with someone at the same time as you are undergoing major life changes.

You cannot simply get divorced. You need to either negotiate an agreement that leads to the end of the marriage or have a court decide the issues.

Many things could cause difficulties with your divorce. The two main potential problem areas are money/property and custody matters. Both of these issues are very important to both spouses and for obvious reasons.

Financial Issues in a California Divorce

Regarding finances, the two spouses must divide the marital assets and debts. California uses the rule of community property, where the two spouses equally divide the assets earned during the marriage and the debt that was incurred. Separate marital property is not included in the community. Even though the rule seems straightforward, there can be numerous legal issues involved with applying it.

Then, one spouse may be seeking support from the other spouse. The two spouses may have different financial circumstances and a disparity in their earning power. As a matter of fairness, a court may require one spouse to make payments to the other, either for a set duration or indefinitely. Spousal support is often a contentious issue because it will have dramatic impacts on both spouse’s finances.

Child Custody Matters in a Divorce

Child custody matters can be equally contentious. Each parent may have starkly different viewpoints of matters such as:

• Which parent will have physical custody or whether it is shared
• The visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent
• How decisions will be made for the children
• The religious, welfare, and education decisions and values

In addition, finances may also be a difficult thing to address. Both parents have the obligation to provide support to their children, and the non-custodial parent would need to pay child support to the other parent. In addition, the parents would need to agree about add-ons to child support for other expenses, such as education and extracurricular activities.

Divorce lawyers will always tell you that it is better to reach an agreement with the other spouse and to avoid a court hearing. While that sounds best in theory, it is not always possible. One spouse may be intransigent, or they may not have an unrealistic view of their own rights under the law. While you should always try to negotiate, litigation could be unavoidable.

Why You Need a Lawyer for a Divorce

Some people think that they may be able to get the best result and save money by handling their own divorce case. Some matters, such as property division, are closed forever once the court enters the divorce order. Other issues, such as custody and spousal support, could be very difficult to modify once there is a divorce order.

When you are in the middle of a divorce, it is often tough to see the bigger issues. You are engulfed in the day-to-day issues, and you may be in the middle of disagreements. What you need most is a knowledgeable counselor and advocate who can review your situation and give you objective advice about how you can and should handle it. You need a professional who can both give you a degree of distance from the situation and handle the details of the case. Hiring a divorce lawyer is an investment in both your present and future.
