Legal Question in Family Law in California

I know the Gavron Admonishment was altered so that it would not affect long term

Sorry, I misunderstood! Gavron Admonishment and it's status is what I need to know. I am in pro per in court because I can't find family law help and am without fund for a lawyer. Any status of Gavron will be welcome as I think it no longer affects long term marriages. boy am I in trouble! Thanks very much.

You're a bit confused, but so are a lot of attorneys.

Family Code section 4330 was a codification of the Gavron warning. It made giving the warning mandatory. Before, it was discretionary.

F.C. section 4330 was repealed. But the case law (In re Marriage of Gavron) is still there. It's just that, once again, you have to ask for it and the judge has to agree.
