As we’ve discussed before, CA is a community property state. In short, this means that if a married couple gets divorced, everything they accrued, including all assets, valuables, and money, is split equally and fairly between both parties.
At the White Oak Law, we’ve dealt with thousands of unique divorces and family law cases, each with their own intricacies. Over this time, we’ve seen it all, from amicable divorces to hostile and contentious proceedings that are drawn out for months.
Are you dealing with abuse or harm from a partner, soon-to-be-ex, or any other party involved in your CA family law dispute? Whatever form the abuse may take, from intimidation to harassment or even physical or sexual abuse, you deserve safety and protection from said actions. The family law courts can provide legally-binding restrictions on guilty parties and you have the right to request this via a restraining order.
During and briefly after the pandemic, California and other states experienced increased rates of divorce. Now, looking back a few years later, what does the landscape look like? Recent divorce statistics for the state were published earlier this year, and the results show interesting, changing trends.
