Representing Clients in a No-Fault Divorce State California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that couples may obtain a divorce without having to prove that one side was responsible for causing the marriage to end. Over the years, we have represented hundreds of clients who have been accused of a wide range of behavior during a marriage, including:
While these factors are not to be considered grounds for a divorce, we understand and appreciate how they can lead couples to legally separate or divorce. In addition, there is a presumption of no shared custody and no spousal support for a parent who is convicted of domestic violence.

Our attorneys will work hard to protect you, whether you need a restraining order or help enforcing a divorce agreement. We will provide you with a strong legal voice and compassionate assistance during very trying times.

Annulments

Divorce is the untangling of legal bonds that create a marriage. An annulment is somewhat different; in California, it is known as "the nullity of marriage." Once an annulment is granted, the marriage is considered to have never existed in the eyes of the law. We have significant experience in helping clients seek annulment.
