FAQs

Can I modify my divorce judgement or order?

If you have an original divorce order that establishes custody, child support or spousal support, you may be able to obtain a modification to that order based on a significant change in circumstances. Custody arrangements can be changed if one party relocates or if the child has different needs. A support determination could be adjusted based on an increase or decrease in income, such as losing a job, getting a new job with different pay, or retirement. We can help you obtain a modification or challenge a proposed modification. It is important to understand that support orders cannot be modified retroactively. Therefore, as soon as there is a need for a modification of a support order, you should immediately consult a family law specialist.

What Can the Court Not Consider When Determining Custody?

The decision cannot be based on protected factors like race, disability, religion, the sex of the parent, sexual orientation, or the comparative income or sexual relations of either parent.

How Does a Child Custody Hearing Work?

The parent seeking the change in custody must file a Request for Order and give the other parent the time to respond. At the hearing, the court will give both sides the chance to be heard.

Do I need the Help of Pleasant on CA Lawyers?

It may be tempting to take on your custody case on your own. However, even a seemingly minor error could have devastating effects on your custody rights. By letting the Tierney Law Group guide you from the beginning of your case, you improve your chances at a positive outcome.

Divorce Process In California: FA Qs How long does a divorce in California take? The timeline can vary, but on average, uncontested divorces take about six months. Contested divorces, where disagreements persist, may take longer. What happens if I do not complete the divorce paperwork correctly? Errors in paperwork can lead to delays or complications. However, a spouse can rectify these errors by submitting an amended petition or response. The process can be complex, depending on when it occurs. In certain situations, you can make amendments without needing the other spouse's consent and a court order. However, the petitioner is limited to one such amendment, and additional changes necessitate a court order. It's crucial to ensure all documents are accurately filled out and filed. Consulting with a California divorce attorney can help avoid these pitfalls. What happens in a default proceeding where the respondent fails to respond? In a default proceeding, if the respondent fails to respond within the stipulated time frame, the court may proceed with the divorce based on the petitioner's requests. This does not mean, however, that the petitioner will get everything they want. When it comes to child custody, for instance, the court will decide on the child’s best interest, and not necessarily on the parent’s preferences.
