At the Harris Family Law Group, our dedicated family law attorneys in San Fernando know that once a spouse decides to get divorced, he or she would like the process to be over as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Depending on the type of divorce you are pursuing, whether it is contested or uncontested, and what type of relationship you have with your spouse — and whether it is high conflict interactions or can be amicably settled through mediation — the time it takes to finalize the divorce will dramatically differ.
Our Los Angeles County family lawyer, Jeffery L. Harris, is dedicated to producing results for our clients using a customized approach to creating legal solutions for each client’s unique relationship, so they can make informed decisions about how their divorce unfolds.
If you have questions about your personal relationship, and what you can expect from the divorce process, contact us today to schedule a free case assessment, where we will answer each of your questions and address your concerns, so you can start moving forward with confidence.
Since California is a no-fault divorce state, our clients are free to choose when they want to dissolve their marriages without proving the other spouse is responsible for their decision.
Our lawyers specialize in family law, and represent individuals who are pursuing solutions in the following practice areas, when they are ready to make a change:
Our San Fernando family law attorneys focus on providing real-time solutions that deliver long-term security, so our clients can make decisions right now that positively impact their futures — starting with a free consultation. Call us now to learn how we can build your case to meet your personal and family needs, so you can start moving in the right direction.
New residents, those who were married in another state, or who have split up with only one party remaining, must fulfill our California divorce residency requirements before legally ending your marriage in the Golden State.
The spouse filing for divorce in California must be a resident and is required by our California Courts to have lived in the state for the last six months, and in the county they are filing from for the last three months.
If you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse are both California residents for six months but reside in different counties for the required three months, you may file for divorce in either county.
Whether you are new to the state and have six months to think about how you would like this divorce to unfold, or just moved to a new county and have three months to file for divorce, there are multiple details you can outline in the meantime.
First: Partner with an experienced divorce attorney in San Fernando who can prepare you for all the things you never thought would matter during a divorce.
Most people only know what they know about divorce from television or friends and family member’s circumstances. Unless you have gone through a divorce yourself, you may be surprised by all the decisions you may have to make regarding your future.
Our San Fernando family law attorneys will create solutions for each part of your divorce during the mandatory waiting period, including:
If you or your spouse have been long-time California residents, and do not need to wait to file for divorce, we can help you outline the details of your case too, so you can start moving forward by confidently making decisions about your future with an experienced San Fernando family law attorney by your side.
Each type of divorce is different, even if you are divorcing for the very same reasons as someone you know divorced years ago.
That is because you and your spouse are unique, and so are your divorce needs.
That is why we only charge our clients flat rate fees, instead of using an hourly billing model.
Your divorce may be cut and dry and completed in one mediation session.
That cost will be different than the divorce of a high-conflict couple that has already decided their case is going to have to be solved during litigation.
However, the latter couple should have access to the same quality legal representation at a fair, upfront price, so they are not blindsided by excessive billing hours and surprise fees later.
At the Harris Family Law Group, our skilled family lawyers in San Fernando provide an upfront valuation of our services, so you know the rate you will pay for our representation.
If you have questions about how your divorce will affect your finances, where you will live, child custody, or other family matters, you do not have to stand still and worry about the unknown. We will explain the divorce process to you in plain terms that allow you to understand the journey you are going to take, so you can make informed decisions about its outcome.
We will thoroughly outline your case and provide the legal guidance you need to confidently move forward and pursue a divorce agreement that gives you access to the marital property that is rightfully yours, while creating a formidable parenting and custody plan that prioritizes your kids’ well-being from the beginning.
