Legal Answers
800 Questions Answered
- Q. Factors a judge must consider when deciding long-term spousal support? income, property or debt, and standard living?
- A: Couple different things in your question that the court will look at (see Family Code §4320 for all the statutory factors the court will consider when ordering spousal support). In terms of duration of support to be paid, the court looks at the length of marriage (from date of marriage to date of separation). In terms of amount of support to be paid, the court looks at the lifestyle to which the couple became accustomed during the marriage and whether each spouse's separate income or assets are sufficient to maintain that lifestyle. The fact that she is cohabitating with someone is relevant. The fact that she inherited a high value asset is relevant. I suggest you retain counsel. ... Read More
- Q. How do I undo an adoption?
- A: Adoptions can be reversed (aka "vacated") under certain limited circumstances. These limited circumstances are statutory and can be found at Family Code §9100 et. seq. Such limited circumstances include if the adopted child shows evidence of a developmental disability or mental illness as a result of conditions existing before the adoption and of which the adoptive parents or parent had no knowledge or notice before the entry of the order of adoption. You should consult directly with an adoption lawyer.
- Q. Divorce filed with the court on 10/21
- A: You are divorced when the Judgment and Notice of Entry of Judgment have been filed with the court. A marital settlement agreement alone is not enough to get you to the end of your case. There are other steps to be taken and other documents that need to be filed. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce-california
