Divorce lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
Although divorce can be finalized without a lawyer., it is better to have a lawyer for legal advice and preparing documents correctly for the court.  Our law firm offers low flat fees, so you may have her call us.  From what you are saying she may need to file a Request for Order so as to have temporary spousal support while the divorce is in progress. From what you are stating, it's hard to know if she has already filed for divorce or if she has filed additional orders.  She would need her case number so we could look it up online to determine where she is in the process

If I was only married for 7 months what would be the best way to go through divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
In California, community property is only that which accumulated during the marriage (from date of marriage to the date of separation), therefore, after seven months there can't be too much to divide. If you have children, you have to take care of custody, visitation, and child support issues. Spousal Support is generally only awarded for one-half of the length of the marriage (as a guideline), so, the lesser earning spouse, would only be entitled to support for a few months, IF the judge thought even that was reasonable given the very short term of the marriage. Get to the court or hire an attorney to file your paperwork and get the process going before it gets any more complicated.

Can the house be considered separate property if purchased before the marriage and the bank still owns the deed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
If the house was purchased and paid for in full prior to marriage it is the purchasers separate property. If payments were made on the mortgage during the marriage, the other spouse is entitled to some reimbursement for those payments under a line of cases known as Moore-Marsden. Talk to an attorney familiar with family law to get more details and to protect yourself.
