If you are in the midst of a divorce and cannot agree on several issues with your soon to be former spouse, a family court may have to step in and make decisions for you. This can lead to a custody plan you do not favor or a division of property that isn’t what you had hoped for.

Going this route as opposed to mediation can negatively impact you because…

❌ The trial can involve presenting highly personal and disparaging information in open court.

❌ The trial can delay a divorce.

❌ Your legal fees can increase significantly if you need to go to trial.

Work with Irwin & Irwin to determine if mediation could be an option for you.

Sometimes domestic violence starts small. Maybe your spouse is protective in that they don’t want you to wear certain clothes or associate with the “wrong” people. But then it progresses. Maybe they move you to a different town away from everything and everyone you know. You are trapped and your abuser knows it. It’s all part of their plan.

1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Don’t become a statistic, know the warning signs.

☑️ The health, safety, and welfare of the minor child.

☑️ Any history of abuse committed by the person seeking custody against a family member.

☑️ The nature and frequency of contact between the parents and the child.

☑️ Dru and alcohol use by either parent.

California law requires spouses to address and resolve a number of issues before their marriage can be declared legally over.

Some of these issues include how to divide marital property, how to share custody of children, and whether one spouse will provide financial support to the other. Reaching agreements on these matters via mediation is one of the most preferable and cost-effective ways to go.
