Divorce in California is “no fault.” This means that anyone can get divorced without having to prove that the other spouse engaged in bad conduct. However, “no fault” does not mean that a person’s actions during marriage are free of legal consequences. Jaffe Family Law Group attorneys are adept at identifying the relevant conduct of the client and spouse and explaining the consequences that may flow from that conduct.

Issues that must be resolved during a divorce may include the characterization of property as community property or separate property, the valuation of property such as businesses, residences and aircraft, determination of the validity of a premarital agreement, determination of the amount and duration of spousal support and child support, and implementation of a schedule for custody of minor children. Jaffe Family Law Group attorneys are extremely knowledgeable about the law and skilled in applying the law to the unique facts of each case.
