LET'S TALKIn California, there is a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date the respondent is served before the divorce can be finalized. Even if you reach an agreement quickly, you will not be legally single until this period expires.
Legal separation allows you to resolve issues like property division and support while remaining legally married. This is often chosen for religious reasons or to maintain certain benefits like health insurance. Unlike a divorce, there is no six-month waiting period for a legal separation to become effective.
Yes. In El Dorado County, if parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, they are required to attend Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC). Unlike some other counties, El Dorado is a "recommending" county, meaning if you don't reach an agreement, the counselor will submit a written recommendation to the judge.
There is no fixed age where a child "chooses," but California law states that if a child is of "sufficient age and capacity to reason" (often considered around age 14), the court must consider their preference. However, the judge always makes the final decision based on the child's best interests.
For marriages lasting less than 10 years, support is generally paid for half the length of the marriage. For "long-term" marriages (10+ years), the court has more discretion and may not set a specific termination date at the start.
California is a community property state. Generally, any assets or debts acquired during the marriage are split 50/50. Property owned before the marriage or received as an inheritance is usually considered separate property, though "commingling" assets can complicate this.
