What are the grounds for divorce in California?
The state of California carries the concept of "no-fault divorce." Therefore, the dissolution of marriage can be accepted by the court if they find that there are irreconcilable differences that have emotionally and physically separated the couple and led to the irrevocable failure of the marriage. Practically speaking, if one individual wants a divorce, they can claim irreconcilable differences and obtain a no-fault divorce, even if the other spouse objects.
Will I obtain half of everything in my divorce?
California is a community property state. This means that the property that is acquired during the marriage will be equally divided at the time of divorce. There are many exceptions to this rule and the division will highly depend on the specifics of your case.
Should everyone enter into a premarital agreement?
Many different types of couples can benefit from a premarital agreement, not just the wealthy. If you are a single parent, a business owner or even a professional in the workplace, you could benefit from a premarital agreement in the case of death or divorce. You should only do so after you have performed a thorough research of the premarital agreement being proposed and have had time to consider the document.
