Legal Question in Family Law in California
Hi, me and my husband are thinking to get divorced. We are citizens of different countries,we have green cards from US. We have small kids - 2 years old and 5 months old (breastfed) and prenuptial agreement as well. I have no income ( I can not afford an attorney) and scared that my husband might take kids away paying money...Please, let me know what best I can start doing right now to secure kids and myself in future? I know that the simplest divorce case might take up to 6 months time and I am confused ( my husband pays for car, cellphone, internet) whether he can take away everything what he paying before. TNX!
1 Answer from Attorneys
A California divorce marriage termination judgment cannot happen any earlier than 6 months from the date the divorce petition was served. However, you can get interim orders and protections from the court by setting a motion on such issues as child custody, support, spousal support, paying expenses and restraining orders.
