Divorce is different here.
This is where things start to get better.
We’ve been different from the beginning more than two decades ago. It’s just part of our DNA. It’s why we like to say, “Divorce is different here.”
Divorce can be an intimidating and stressful process. But divorce is different here: there are no secrets, no mysteries. We take anxiety and distrust out of the picture by giving you complete knowledge and control of the process and its costs. You’ll have the information and confidence to make the decisions you need to move on with your life.

What Should I Do Now?
Divorce
In California, divorce is the changing of legal status from married to unmarried and is separate from issues like spousal support (alimony), property division, and child custody.
Spousal Support
In California, the popular term “alimony” has been renamed “spousal support.”
You must first recognize that you have a legal obligation to support your spouse.
Property Division
When you divorce, the court will have to divide up your property. Most assets in which either spouse has an interest in are property subject to division upon divorce. This means any real or personal property.
Child Custody
Parents who divorce will need to have a plan for deciding how their children will be cared for and where they will live or spend time. If they don't have a plan, the court will decide for them what their plan will be.
Child Support
Parents have an equal responsibility to support their children in a way suitable to the child’s circumstances. Child support is the amount of money that parents pay to help with the support of their children.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is abuse or threats of abuse (verbal, emotional, or psychological) when the person being abused and the abuser are or have been in a certain type of intimate relationship, such as family members.
