Divorce is on the rise amongst all age groups, including older adults. While the process of divorce is never easy, we’ve found that older individuals often face additional challenges that they were not expecting. Our years of experience helping clients all across California has led us to develop this short list of additional challenges that older adults who are looking to get divorced should be aware of.

At the White Oak Law, our clients ask us about every facet of divorce, right from the initial filing to the last concluding arrangements. Today, we want to talk about the first step in the divorce process, especially because many people have recently inquired about this issue.

Life after divorce is never the same, especially when there are kids involved. However, just because things are not the same doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be worse. For this post, we want to offer some tips to parents who might have split or partial custody of their kids, who now find themselves being ferried across two regular homes.

Nobody enjoys the process of getting a divorce in California, and divorce proceedings can be involved, costly affairs that could take months or longer to resolve. Not surprisingly, we at the White Oak Law have seen people try to cut corners in order to rush to a speedier or more favorable resolution.

As many people have found out, traveling while in the midst of divorce proceedings, or even afterwards, can be a tricky affair. This is especially true when there are children involved and/or disputes about who should have custody of the kids. Not taking the proper precautions and violating any court orders can carry serious consequences in California, and your custody/visitation rights could be placed jeopardy.
