Common Divorce Myths
Preparing for Divorce

A divorce is not something anyone ever expects or plans for. But, if you should find yourself in that unhappy position, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced San Diego divorce lawyer who is capable of fighting for your future security and the well being of your children. The skilled attorneys of the Law Offices of Julia M. Garwood have many years of experience and are adept at seeing their divorce cases to the best possible conclusion.

In the state of California, it is not necessary to report any grounds for divorce. A couple filing for a “no fault” divorce may simply state the cause of the disintegration of their marriage was “irreconcilable differences”. And, unless there was a legal pre- or post-nuptial agreement that states otherwise, the assets of the divorcing couple will be equally divided between the husband and wife, according to California law.

Certainly all of this makes it sound easy. But, problems can arise when discussions turn to the subjects of child custody, child support and alimony payments. Add to this mix the intense emotions of anger, betrayal, guilt, bitterness, etc. that are often part of the makeup of a divorce. These emotions are capable of clouding anyone’s judgment and left unchecked, can prolong the divorce process. That is why it is imperative to have someone on your side who will keep the atmosphere civil and will focus on bringing the proceedings to an outcome satisfactory to all parties.

If you are thinking of filing for divorce, or your spouse is asking for dissolution of your marriage, it is time to give the San Diego divorce attorney of the Law Offices of Julia M. Garwood a call. We are here to listen, and to carefully guide you through this difficult time.
