Divorce Law
In the state of California, a divorce is called dissolution of marriage.  In order to obtain a divorce in Garden Grove or anywhere in California, you must file a civil lawsuit called a Dissolution of Marriage proceeding.  The two parties involved in this dissolution of marriage are called the “Petitioner” and the “Respondent”.  The person who brings fort the dissolution of marriage is the petitioner and their spouse is called the respondent.

Legal Separation
A California legal separation is similar to a divorce, except the “marital status” of you and your spouse does not end. In a legal separation, you can obtain orders regarding the children, property division, support and any other orders that are available in a divorce case, including the restoration of your previous name.

Children & Divorce
When children are involved in a divorce, the court’s decision becomes a bit more challenging.  In most contested cases, child custody is at the center of the conflict. Making orders that are in the children’s best interest is one of the main goals of the Court.
