Understandably, most people have many questions about what is involved in dissolution of marriage under California law. While some divorce lawyers are not straightforward about the costs of a divorce and child support/spousal support issues, Steven Cummings is open and honest about all aspects of divorce and marital disillusion during times when you want clarity and simplicity, in at least one area of you life, while everything else is in turmoil.

For instance, under California divorce laws there is no need to detail 'grounds' for divorce, since the creation of the 'no-fault' divorce system---a divorce can be based on 'irreconcilable differences', which blankets nearly any kind of marital issue. Furthermore, property acquired during a marriages constitutes 'community property' that must be divided between each spouse, so whether you were a stay at home parent, or a wage earner, you are entitled to a portion of the property acquired during the marriage---including the marital home and even pensions and annuities.

Additionally, our office wants you to know that we can represent your needs regardless of your past and your current situation.

Even if domestic violence has occurred during your marriage, it still may possible to have visitation.
