California Family Law Legal Help
Under the California Family Code, California is a pure no-fault divorce and community property state. Marital assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally divided equally (Fam. Code § 2550), while child custody and visitation orders are established strictly based on the best interest of the child (Fam. Code § 3011).
California law provides distinct legal frameworks and deadlines that govern family law matters. Navigating local superior courts and state agencies requires thorough preparation and understanding of applicable statutory provisions.
