Divorce isn’t always the answer. In certain situations, parties are better off filing a Legal Separation. In either case, coming to terms that keep the divorce/separation amicable and fair isn’t easy. The other side does not have your best interests in mind, and you need to understand your rights -- rights to property, benefits, and future benefits. California is a community property state. People who represent themselves in Court usually do so without a thorough understanding of what the laws regarding community property mean for them and their rights.
