California law on divorce and its related issues is one of the most complex of all areas of the law. One reason for this is that our social relationships are complex and continually changing. Consequently, new law is being made almost daily as the courts and legislature struggle to define the rights and privileges in our various relationships. Underlying these relationships are a consistent concern for “the best interests of the child” when children are part of the equation.
Out of this complexity has come a mix of rules, guidelines, computer-generated formulas, and principles which generally result in a fair conclusion for the parties concerned, considering all the competing interests. It is your lawyer’s job to see that your rights and privileges in this complex milieu are clearly presented and preserved.
What follows in this section is a discussion of the legal principles you likely will encounter in your journey through California family law. You can dip into it where you like, to get answers to any immediate question you may have, and to arrive at a general idea of what you might expect from a judge on a given issue.
