Our Family and Divorce Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas
At Berenji & Associates Divorce Lawyers, our Hollywood divorce lawyers handle all aspects of your divorce case. Our attorneys have considerable experience in all matters related to divorce, including:
Divorce
A divorce is the legal process of ending your marriage. Our Hollywood divorce lawyers will help you navigate the divorce process in Los Angeles County.
Child Custody
When parents divorce, they must develop a plan to divide parental responsibilities. Our child custody lawyers can protect your parental rights and fight for sole custody when it is in the best interest of your children.
Child Support
We will carefully analyze your income, and the factors related to child support to ensure you pay or receive a fair amount in your child custody agreement.
Judgment Modification
Some issues may need to be modified after a divorce. Circumstances could result in changes to child custody, alimony, or child support. Our Hollywood judgment modification lawyers can help you petition the court for a modification order if needed.
Property Division
California may be a community property state where spouses share an equal interest in marital property. Our legal team will aggressively fight to obtain a fair share of the community property.
How Do I Seek a Divorce in Hollywood, CA?
Either spouse can petition the court for a divorce if one or both spouses have lived in California for at least six months and in the California county where the divorce is filed for three months. Other residency rules apply for domestic partnerships, legal separations, and same-sex divorces.
The spouse filing the divorce papers is the petitioner. The other spouse is the respondent. The respondent has a deadline to file a response to the divorce papers. The petitioner can ask for a default divorce order if they do not respond.
If the respondent files an answer, the parties can attempt to negotiate a divorce settlement agreement and parenting plan, if applicable. The proposed agreements are presented to the court for approval. When the couple cannot agree on divorce terms, a trial is held, and the judge decides the terms based on California family laws.
If possible, our Hollywood divorce lawyers work with you to obtain a fair divorce settlement without litigation. If not, we prepare for court and aggressively argue at trial for the divorce terms that are in your best interest.
How Will My Property Be Divided in a Divorce in California?
Marital assets typically include all income and property either spouse accumulated during the marriage. Marital assets are subject to community property laws. If a couple disagrees on how to divide marital assets, a family court judge decides for them.
Separate property are assets you had before the marriage and acquired after the separation date. These assets are not subject to division. Arguments may arise about how to categorize some assets, leading to litigation.
Our Hollywood property division attorneys work with you to negotiate a fair property settlement agreement that gives you what you want. We work with forensic accountants, investigators, property appraisers, business evaluators, and other experts as necessary to protect your rights.
Who Will Get Custody of Our Children After the Divorce?
All child custody matters are based on the best interests of the child. California Family Code §3011 explains the factors judges use to determine a child’s best interest. Even when parents agree on custody terms, a judge has the authority to change the agreement if they believe the terms are not in the child’s best interest.
Parents may share joint legal and physical custody, giving each parent the right to spend time with their children and make significant decisions for the child. If a parent is unfit or there are other issues the judge believes could harm a child, the judge may grant sole custody to one parent.
Our Hollywood child custody attorneys fight to protect your children throughout your divorce case.
