Mental Competence in a Divorce

In order to obtain a dissolution, both parties must be mentally competent to understand the nature of the proceedings and the fact that irreconcilable differences have arisen in the marriage. If the court cannot make a finding that both parties are mentally competent, it cannot proceed with the dissolution.

If you need a divorce lawyer in the Orange County area to discuss a family law matter such as child support or any other dissolution issue such as spousal support, custody, transmutation or property division, contact Treviño Law, Inc. Conveniently located off the 5 and 405 freeway at Lake Forest.

Although the posting of this information can be considered free legal advice for an Orange County divorce, it does not guarantee a result. There may be other circumstances that play a significant role in any dissolution which may alter the outcome of a divorce. A divorce lawyer will be knowledgeable about the significance of facts. Those factors should be reviewed and argued by a family law attorney in Orange County.
