Long Beach uncontested divorce

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on the terms of the divorce. Divorce issues requiring agreement include:

Child custody Child support Visitation

Spousal support Property division

Uncontested divorce is the easiest type of divorce to handle. However, couples may still need legal guidance to ensure they file correctly and meet all legal requirements.

Contested divorce in Long Beach

In a contested divorce, the couple cannot agree on divorce terms. They may dispute one aspect or multiple aspects of their divorce.

• Who gets the children?
• How much child support should be paid monthly?
• Which spouse keeps the house?
• What custody arrangements can be made if one spouse is moving out of state?
• Does your wife or husband have the right to spousal support?
• Does the way your spouse wants to divide up the assets seem unfair?

Issues in conflict complicate the divorce process and require resolution. Methods to resolve Long Beach contested divorce disputes include negotiated settlements, mediation, collaborative divorce, and courtroom litigation.

Long Beach collaborative divorce

In collaborative divorce, both spouses retain lawyers who work with their clients to resolve differences in a way that benefits both sides. Both parties cooperate and skilled professionals, such as marriage counselors or financial consultants can be used in the process to offer solutions for emotional or financial issues.

All parties work to keep the process constructive and strive for a favorable outcome. If either side at any time threatens legal action, the process ends, and the couple must each obtain new lawyers.
