Los Angeles Divorce Lawyer

Divorce Law / Community Property

The decision to divorce is a difficult one to make, particularly if children are involved. At Stolar & Associates, we can help you through this emotionally and financially demanding time as painlessly as possible. In any divorce, there are complex issues to sort out, including division of assets, property and debt, business issues, child custody and visitation, spousal support, and others. We have handled divorces for clients for twenty years and have the experience and knowledge to help your divorce proceed smoothly.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorces

In California, divorces are considered "no fault," making it relatively easy to obtain a divorce from the court using the concept of "irreconcilable differences." In an uncontested divorce, the spouses have already agreed to split and have decided on the terms of their divorce, settling such matters as child custody, spousal support, how to divide assets and debts, and other issues related to their marriage. In this case, a lawyer can review your terms to ensure you have covered all the necessary points, then draft and help finalize the divorce for you.

A contested divorce, on the other hand, means that a couple has not yet agreed to the terms of the divorce. Complex and aggressive negotiations may be required to reach a resolution. At Stolar & Associates, our Los Angeles divorce lawyers  are sensitive to your unique situation, and we will aggressively protect your interests. We will work very hard to fight for what YOU want and deserve.  Contact us today.  You can have a free consultation with an experienced Los Angeles divorce lawyer.

California Community Property Law

In California, most property acquired after the marriage is considered community property, which is evenly divided during a divorce. Property obtained prior to a marriage is considered separate property. These concepts, while seemingly simple, can often be subject to interpretation and require an attorney who is familiar with the legal intricacies to ensure your property is fairly divided.
