Our Client-Focused Divorce Services Help You Navigate the Legal Process
From walking you through the residency requirements and initial filing for divorce to negotiating high net-worth dissolutions of marriage, we leverage our in-depth understanding of the law to protect your rights and interests.
In California, you can pursue an uncontested or contested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse agree on all aspects of the termination of your marriage. A contested divorce happens if there is at least one point of dispute between both parties. You may remedy the disagreement outside of the courtroom via divorce mediation or go to trial.
While an uncontested divorce can save time and money and set up a positive foundation for co-parenting if you have young children, certain situations may call for a contested divorce. If you suspect your spouse is hiding assets or has previously been abusive to you and/or your children, a contested divorce can help minimize confrontation and the risk of intimidation.
At Griffith, Young & Lass, our divorce attorneys can help you negotiate spousal support, and we also have experience with military divorces that have certain specificities in addition to civilian dissolutions of marriage.
If you and your spouse share minor children, we can help draft and review a parenting plan that addresses child custody, visitation schedules, child support, and any other elements you may want to include in your agreement. Although a judge needs to approve your proposed parenting plan, our team can help increase your chances of securing approval.
Let Griffith, Young & Lass Protect Your and Your Family’s Future in Poway and Its Surrounding Areas
Although California law requires a six-month waiting period between the date of service of the divorce petition and the final ruling, we can still resolve the various aspects of your divorce within a few months. Even if you have to wait for the final ruling, we may reach agreements for all the terms of your marriage dissolution in fewer months. The necessary time for divorce proceedings can vary greatly depending on whether you seek an uncontested or contested divorce, the complexity and worth of your marital assets, and whether you share minor children.
At Griffith, Young & Lass, our client-focused approach keeps you and your loved ones at the heart of our strategies. During your initial consultation, you can expect a thorough and honest assessment of your situation and a discussion of your goals and expectations. We can walk you through your options and accompany you at every step of the process with time and cost-effective representation.
