Divorces can be either contested or uncontested. California is a “no fault” state meaning that a person does not have to have a reason to obtain a divorce. The parties must meet the jurisdictional requirements to file for divorce by living in the State of California for six preceding months and the County where the action is filed for the preceding three months. Despite the “no fault” status, a divorce will be either “contested” or “uncontested”.
A contested divorce arises when the parties do not agree on the terms of the dissolution. The disagreement can be due to a variety of issues including child custody/visitation; support issues; property division; domestic violence issues; and/or the value and/or cash flow of the family business to mention only a few. The Law Office of Kerri Lynn Anderson is highly-skilled in negotiating complex issues and is often able to reach amicable and expeditious resolutions of all and/or most issues in a divorce. When necessary our office will also enlist the assistance of other professionals to address the contested issues in order to provide additional information for your case, and also to put your case in a better position for resolution. While an amicable and fair resolution is always encouraged, it may not always be possible. In the event the parties are not able to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce agreement, the Court will then have a Trial on the remaining issues. The Law Office of Kerri Lynn Anderson will readily stand by your side during Trial to protect your rights and present the Court with the necessary and pertinent evidence for the Judge to make a solid decision with respect to the facts of your case.
An uncontested divorce occurs when the parties are able to reach an agreement on all of the terms of their divorce. In this situation, the parties will benefit from having an experienced attorney review and/or prepare the agreement and ancillary documents to ensure that the necessary and required language and issues have been addressed. The Law Office of Kerri Lynn Anderson can assist parties with this service in an expeditious manner for a reasonable price.
