Family law is the area of law that deals with issues
involving marital relationships and relationships
between parents and children, as well as violence
between family, friends or acquaintances
The following are explanations of select subjects
included in Los Angeles family law:
Divorce
(Covered in Family Law)
A divorce or “dissolution of marriage”
will basically end a marriage if the two parties involved
are found to have irreconcilable differences which
cannot be resolved. You don't have to give the court
any other reason. It doesn't matter who is at fault.
To get a divorce in Los Angeles, you or your spouse
must have lived in California for the last 6 months
AND for 3 months in the county where you're going
to file for your divorce.
Annulment
(Covered in Family Law)
In a marriage annulment (also known as “nullity
of marriage”), the presiding judge will make
a decision as to whether or not a marriage is legally
valid. This action can be filed by a married person
to restore the parties to the status of unmarried
persons, as if they were never married. Because irreconcilable
differences are not a reason enough for getting an
annulment, these type cases are different from divorce
cases.
Child Support
(Covered in Family Law)
Child support is the amount of money that the court
orders one parent to pay the other parent every month
for the support of the child (or children). California
has a guideline for figuring out how much child support
should be paid in all cases. Child support payments
are usually made until children turn 18 (or 19 if
they are still in high school full time, living at
home, and can't support themselves). The court may
also order that both parents continue to support a
disabled adult child that is not self-supporting.
In Los Angeles, custody and visitation issues may
also be raised through an action initiated by the
Child Support Services Department,
