| Most people contemplate a divorce for several years before deciding whether to file a petition. At Treviño Law we understand that it is a difficult decision. It is our goal to help women through this transition. |
| Once a petitioner for dissolution is filed in California, it takes a minimum of six months and a day for the divorce to be final. Although it is possible to obtain a judgment before that date, the earliest date that the parties will be identified as single is six months and a day. This is important if one party wants to remarry. Treviño Law is designed to facilitate that process and give its clients up to date information about their case. |
| Custody and visitation of minor children are issues that are likely to be addressed in most divorce cases. The divorce court looks at the child's health, safety, and welfare and decides which parent is most likely to foster a continuing relationship between the non-custodial parent and the child. After a custody plan is made, child support and spousal support can be ordered. In addition to child support and spousal support, there are other items the judge will determine including property division which can be affected by inheritances, or gifts. A divorce lawyer can evaluate the factors and argue the case effectively. |
