Frequently Asked Questions
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.
The Placerville judges focus on the child’s health, safety, and welfare. They look for stability, the continuity of the child’s environment (school, friends, and community in the Foothills), and each parent’s ability to support the child's relationship with the other parent.
California uses a statewide "guideline" formula. It primarily looks at both parents' monthly net disposable income and the percentage of time each parent spends with the children.
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.
