Divorce Los Angeles provides married individuals who want to dissolve their union with the option of receiving a no-fault divorce. A no-fault divorce is available to spouses who have experienced an “irretrievable breakdown” of the union that has lasted for at least six months. Spouses do not have to base their divorce on grounds, such as adultery, cruelty, abandonment, or cruel and inhuman treatment, though a traditional divorce based on such grounds remains an option.
Marital Agreement A Martial agreement is to memorialize any agreements reached between divorcing(or separating) spouses as to child custody, child support, alimony(also referred to as "spousal support" or "maintenance"), and the division of property.
Child Custody While separated or unmarried parents often initially prefer to leave custodial arrangements regarding their children to informal agreements, circumstances can arise making it imperative for a court to formalize such arrangements. Whether the other parent has stopped honoring the informal agreement or is threatening to move away with your child, you need to be represented by an experienced custody assistant who can fight for your parental rights.
Visitation Just because a parent does not have physical custody of a child does not mean he or she should not play an important role in that child’s life. Non-custodial parents have rights and generally should be afforded opportunities to form meaningful relationships with their child through what is known as “visitation.”
Child Support Parents not granted physical custody of a child – and even those granted shared custody – can be ordered to pay child support. Not only can child support payments go toward the child’s shelter, food, clothing, and other regular expenses, they sometimes can also cover education and health care expenses. Barring any order of emancipation from the court due to the child’s enlistment in the military, marriage, or self-sufficiency, parents will be required to make child support payments up until the child turns 18 years old.
Request for Order (Modification) Filing a request for order or RFO is the act of formally asking a judge to make orders in a legal matter or to establish custody or support orders. We will guide you through this process.

Name Change It may be based on events such as divorce , or it may simply be based on dissatisfaction with your name.
