Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Divorce/Legal Sepperation

find a lawyer who will do the divorce on an hourly rate and have him discuss an estimate of the number of hours needed and exactly what needs to be done. that is the best way to control costs.

Re: Divorce/Legal Sepperation

In an uncontested divorce, no one needs to appear in court. Find an attorney, who is experienced, by simply calling around and asking "What is your fees for an uncontested divorce with a marital settlement agreement?" Don't go to a paralegal, who can cause you more problems than you want to deal with. A good attorney will not cost that much more if you shop around. Good Luck

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

relationship, unless a written retainer agreement

is executed by the attorney and client. This

communication contains general information only.

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

communication nor legal advice. There likely are

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

http://www.CaliforniaDivorceAttorney.com

The site contains quite a bit of general

information about California Family Law, Tenants'

Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, and EDD

hearings and appeals, as well as information

about me (education, experience, et cetera)

and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

You have somewhat complicated issues of jurisdiction, residency requirements,

and moving away with one child versus the automatic

temporary restraining orders which go into effect

when you file and serve your Petition. See a lawyer.

You'll "get it right" the first time and save money

in the long run.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
