John Griffith discusses the steps involved to file for divorce in California.

Hi my name’s John Griffith. I’m a San Diego divorce and family law attorney located up in Solana Beach. This is one of a series of informative videos aimed at addressing common issues that come up in California divorce and family law cases. You should note that nothing I say is intended to be or should be construed as legal advice. Family law cases are all different; they all have unique sets of facts and circumstances. And if you want to address your specific case with an attorney, feel free to call my office. I give free consultations, and we’ll talk about your particular case. Today I’ll be talking about filing for divorce. So you’ve made the decision to go ahead and file for divorce, you want to end your marriage. You need to know what the first step is and what steps to take after that. The first thing that you need to consider is where to file your Petition for Dissolution. And the Petition for Dissolution is the initial filing; it starts a divorce case. And when I say dissolution, I mean divorce. In California we call divorces dissolutions. It’s the dissolving of a marital relationship. So you need to find out where you’re going to file that Petition. In the state of California, you have to be a resident of the state for at least six months prior to filing the Petition. So if you’ve lived in California for at least six months you can file here in California, regardless of where your spouse lives. If your spouse lives in another state, you can go ahead and file in California, have your spouse served, and you’ll be litigating your case most likely in California. Next thing you need to figure out is which county to file your divorce in. You need to live in the county where you’re filing your Petition for Dissolution for at least three months prior to filing the Petition for Dissolution. So if you’ve just moved to a new county, you need to decide whether you want to file in the old county you lived in, or wait the three month period to file in the county that you live in now. It could make a big difference so far as your relationships in the old county as opposed to your relationships in the new county. Now once you’ve decided where to file, you want to go ahead and prepare that Petition for Dissolution. Like I said, it’s the initial document that begins the process. And when you’re looking at the Petition for Dissolution there’s several issues that the court’s going to want you to address. You’re going to be listing all of the minor children of the marriage, you’re going to ask the court for certain orders regarding the custody of the children, spousal support, property division, and probably the most important thing that you’re going to address in the Petition for Dissolution is the date that you want the court to consider to be the date of separation between you and your spouse. And the date of separation can often become a serious issue, because the parties may not agree on the date of separation. So it’s very important that you talk to an attorney about what California law says with respect to the date of separation before filling out that Petition. And I can help you with that. I offer free consultations at my office. I’d be happy to talk about your date of separation and help you fill out that Petition. Okay so once you get your Petition filled out, you file it at the courthouse, and you have to have your spouse served with the Petition for Dissolution, or the petition for divorce. There’s two different ways that the law provides service of the Petition. The first way is by personal service, and by personal service I mean someone physically delivering the petition for divorce to your spouse. And if you hire an attorney, attorneys usually have messenger services and courier services that will go ahead and get that done for you. Now there’s another less intrusive method that I prefer when starting a divorce. You can imagine that divorces can kind of get emotional. The second way for serving a Petition for Dissolution would be by mail. And if you’re going to serve the petition for divorce by mail, you want to make sure to have someone else mail it. You’re not allowed to either do personal service or service by mail, and you include what’s called a Notice of Acknowledgement of Receipt. And if you’re going to do service by mail you want to make sure that your spouse is willing to sign off that he or she actually received that Petition.

Seattle child custody lawyer Eric Engel talks about what to do if your ex is not allowing visitation.

Child visitation is a very important and vital part of your divorce proceeding. You need to start with a parenting plan which is simply a plan that establishes when your child spends time with each parent. If your ex does not or will not follow this plan, you need to take steps to document this issue. Begin with a letter stating how you have not received this visitation and that you expect a written response back from your ex. Be sure to follow up on this letter as well and make sure you exercise your visitation rights. Watch the video now to learn more.

Fathers Rights in Custody Issues

Fathers Rights in Custody Issues

Fatherhood brings each reward and duty.

When families are split, though, custody issues arrive to the forefront, and fathers need the details to understand their custody rights.

In English typical law, kids had been seen as the house of fathers, who had a legal obligation to protect, assistance and educate the children.

In fact, fathers mostly taken care of undisputed child custody rights in the Usa throughout much with the 1800s.

Fathers now possess the same rights of custody as moms. In some cases, parents attain an agreement concerning primary kid custody.

In other cases, they work out an agreement through a mediator.

Bodily and legal child custody rights vary in what they entail. Physical rights relate to where the kid lives.

Legal custody rights, however, relate to which parent is awarded the right to create choices for the kid.

Decisions could apply to education, well being care, religion and extra-curricular actions by which the children are allowed to participate.
