Best Divorce Lawyers in Torrance, CA

I REPRESENT ONLY MY CLIENT. THE JOB WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT IF THE OTHER SIDE IS NOT REPRESENTED BECAUSE THE OTHER SIDE WILL NOT KNOW THE LAW, WILL NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCEDURES AND WILL BE SKEPTICAL OF ANY SETTLEMENT PROPOSALS.

AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE IS ONE WHERE THE PARTIES AGREE TO SETTLE ALL ISSUES OF THE CASE. EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE BUT ONLY WHERE AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED AS TO ALL ISSUES.

A PETITION FOR AN ANNULMENT SEEKS A JUDICIAL DECLARATION THAT THE MARRIAGE NEVER EXISTED. IT IS STATUTORILY CONTROLLED AND IF THE CASE DOES NOT FIT INTO ONE OF THE STATUTORY GROUNDS, AN ANNULMENT WILL NOT BE GRANTED AND A DIVORCE IS THE REMAINING OPTION. IN ORDER TO OBTAIN AN ANNULMENT, A PETITION NEEDS TO BE FILED THAT IDENTIFIES THE GROUND THAT THE REQUEST FOR THE ANNULMENT IS BASED ON. A VOID MARRIAGE IS ONE WHERE BIGAMY OR INCEST IS INVOLVED WHILE A VOIDABLE MARRIAGE IS ONE WHERE: 1) THE CONSENT TO MARRY WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED; 2) ONE OF THE PARTIES SUFFERED FROM INCURABLE INCAPACITY AT THE TIME OF MARRIAGE; 3) THE CONSENT TO MARRY WAS OBTAINED THROUGH FORCE; 4) WHERE THERE WAS INVALID CONSENT; OR 5) WHERE A PRIOR MARRIAGE OF ONE OF THE PARTIES HAS NOT BEEN DISSOLVED.

IT IS THE PUBLIC POLICY OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR EVERY RECIPIENT OF SUPPORT TO BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. WHAT A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME WILL DIFFER WITH EACH CASE.

I ASK MY CLIENTS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A DREAM LIST OF WHAT HE/SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS A SETTLEMENT AND THEN WE DISCUSS THE FEASIBILITY OF OBTAINING THAT SETTLEMENT, OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT.
