Legal Question in Family Law in California

The 2019 pet law made a slight change. The court can now consider the best interests of the pet, in addition to the other factors that go into dividing up everything a couple owns. Before the pets were just treated as property, same as the coffee maker. Spousal support depends on length of marriage. Without that number, that's all I can tell you. Upon filing of a divorce petition and service on the other spouse, an automatic restraining order goes into effect prohibiting, among other things, making any insurance changes until the court orders otherwise.
