You are getting a divorce because you and your spouse have issues that have torn you apart. Sometimes, you can get past the hurt and come to an agreement on the terms of your divorce. But other times things have gotten so bad, reaching a compromise seems impossible. Although California is a no-fault divorce and community property state, there are many factors –including child custody, prenuptial agreements, and complex property ownership – that can keep your divorce from being simple.

How To Decide Between Divorce Litigation and Mediation

If you and your spouse can civilly discuss the separation of property, child support, and other issues related to the dissolution of your marriage, you may want to consider mediation for your divorce. Because mediation is often less expensive and more private than dealing with court proceedings, it is often chosen over litigation. However, if you and your spouse cannot work together or if you have a history of spousal abuse, litigation may be the solution for you. Our compassionate San Diego divorce lawyers can help you decide which option would be most beneficial to your circumstances. Call (619) 692-8100 for a initial consultation.

Understanding the Divorce Litigation Process

Divorce litigation takes the decision making out of your hands and puts it into the hands of a judge. Because of this, it is important that you hire an attorney who is an expert in the litigation process.
