FAQs for Orange County Clients

How are community assets split in Orange County?

California is a community property state; assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally divided equally (with exceptions).

Relocation cases can be complex. The court considers the child’s best interests, existing relationships, and potential harm from the move.

Yes, many family law courts require mediation before going to trial — but there are exceptions, especially in domestic violence or urgent issues.

Unless there is a prenuptial agreement in place that specifically states that neither party will receive nor pay spousal support, it’s a potential consideration in divorce cases. Your attorney can help you request spousal support as part of your divorce filing. However, spousal support isn’t guaranteed. The judge will look at various factors, such as the earning potential of both parties and their quality of life during the marriage, to determine if spousal support should apply.
