Getting married doesn’t mean your finances automatically merge! While many couples choose to share their finances, it’s not a legal requirement. Here’s what you need to know:

💼 State Laws Matter: In California, community property laws apply to assets acquired during the marriage, but pre-marital assets typically remain separate.
📜 Prenuptial Agreements: These agreements can define how assets are handled, ensuring clarity and protection for both spouses.
🤝 Financial Choices: Couples can decide how to manage their money—whether jointly, separately, or a mix of both.

Before you say "I do," have an open discussion about financial goals and expectations. Consulting a family law attorney can provide clarity and help safeguard your future.

At BJ Fadem Law, we’re here to help you navigate these important decisions with confidence.

Retirement accounts are often one of the largest and most valuable assets in a divorce. In California, any contributions made during the marriage are considered community property and must be divided equitably. However, dividing these assets can be complicated.

Key considerations include:

🔹 Community vs. Separate Property: Contributions made before the marriage typically remain yours, but determining what qualifies can require careful analysis.
🔹 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs): A legal order that ensures retirement accounts are divided fairly without tax penalties or early withdrawal fees.
🔹 Different Types of Accounts: 401(k)s, pensions, and IRAs may have unique rules and require tailored approaches for division.

Divorce is a major life change, but with the right guidance, you can protect your hard-earned assets and plan for a secure future. Let us handle the complexities so you can focus on what matters most. 💼

Myth: If you’re a victim of domestic violence, you must leave your home immediately.

Reality: While leaving an abusive situation is often the best choice, California law provides protections for victims, including the ability to seek a restraining order or legally remain in the family home. The law prioritizes safety and can provide support to help you protect yourself and your children.

If you’re facing domestic violence, BJ Fadem Family Law is here to guide you through your options and ensure your safety.

Life changes, and so can your custody arrangement. In California, child custody orders are not set in stone. If there’s been a significant change in circumstances—like a parent relocating or a child’s needs evolving—you may be able to modify your custody arrangement.

Understanding when and how to request a modification can ensure that your child’s best interests are always the top priority.

If you’re considering a custody modification, BJ Fadem Family Law is here to help guide you through the process.

In California, if your spouse goes missing and you can't locate them, you can still file for divorce. Known as "Divorce by Publication," this process allows you to move forward with the legal separation even if you can't personally serve your spouse. You must make efforts to locate them, and if unsuccessful, the court may allow you to publish the divorce notice in a local newspaper.

This ensures that you're not stuck in a marriage indefinitely, even if your spouse is unreachable. At BJ Fadem Family Law, we can guide you through the process, whether your spouse is present or not.

In California, palimony is a unique legal concept that comes into play when unmarried couples separate, and one partner seeks financial support from the other. Unlike alimony, which applies to married couples, palimony is specifically for long-term relationships without marriage. If you’re facing a situation where palimony may be relevant, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights and options.

At BJ Fadem Family Law, we have the experience and knowledge to guide you through this complex area of family law and help secure a fair outcome.💼💰

Myth: Child custody is a win-or-lose situation, where one parent gets everything and the other gets nothing.

Reality: In California, the focus is on the best interests of the child. Custody arrangements are designed to support a child’s well-being, often resulting in joint custody or shared visitation. Courts consider factors like each parent’s involvement, the child’s relationship with each parent, and any special needs the child may have.

At BJ Fadem Family Law, we help parents understand the true process and advocate for a fair outcome.
