"When a family splits, its easy to feel left in shock, confused, over-whelmed and often times completely and totally alone in the fight. Attorney Samera Habib and her team helped me (and continues to help me) through the process of my separation and ongoing child custody matters with such care and devotion, seeing each of my cases through to the end and always with a judgment in my favor. They make me feel less alone in this. They make me feel like I have support." Greg N., 5-Star Google Review

Military divorces can be complex, so if you or your spouse are serving in the military, The Dadvocates can help you determine if you should file your divorce in California, handle paperwork if you or your spouse are currently deployed, and protect your interests when it comes to military compensation and benefits.
In California, it only takes one spouse to end a marriage, even if the other party doesn't agree. If your spouse refuses to participate in the case, you can still receive a default judgment, and the divorce will be valid.
If the house is separate property, whoever bought the house will get it in the divorce; however, California is a community property state, meaning all shared property must be divided equally between two spouses. If you and your spouse bought the house together, you may sell the house and divide the profits, buy out your spouse by paying them their share, or win custody of your children and defer the sale of the home so you can continue to raise your children in an environment that's familiar to them.
California law requires a mandatory waiting period, so divorces will take a minimum of six months from the date of the person filing for divorce serves their spouse the divorce papers. This six-month waiting period is mandatory, even in cases where both parties agree to the divorce; however, the divorce process can take much longer, especially if there are child custody or property disputes.
After your divorce has been approved, there are several things you should think about, including changing the beneficiary on your will and life insurance policy, closing joint accounts, and informing your employer of your divorce so they can change your income tax withholding status.
