Divorce Lawyer in Huntington Beach

Knowledgeable Representation in Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, & Murrieta

A divorce, or dissolution of marriage, is the legal process by which the marital union is cancelled through a judgment issued by a court of law. This is different from an annulment, which declares the marriage null and void. When terminating a marriage, the parties will almost always deal with issues of division of property and debts, spousal support, child support, and child custody. It is important to speak with an experienced Huntington Beach divorce attorney to discuss your case.

Why an Attorney is Essential in Any Divorce Case

The divorce process can be long and complicated and usually requires the help of an attorney through some part of the process. The use of forms and self-help centers at many local courthouses has led to a common misconception that divorce cases are simple, particularly if the parties have reached an agreement concerning how to end the marriage and divide up the children, assets, debts, etc. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Even parties in short-term marriages with no children should consult an attorney before signing any agreements. While there are many cases that are truly “simple” in nature, most clients are misinformed and incorrectly believe that a case is “simple” when it is not. Even the most complicated cases seem “simple” to someone who is unaware of the issues involved with their case. The only way to truly know if a case is “simple” is to speak to a competent divorce attorney. 

Apart from the legal complexities, divorces generally involve high emotions from both sides. Parties are facing the failure of a relationship and the uncertainties of what their new future will involve. Divorcing couples are required to make legal decisions that will likely affect them for the rest of their lives. Many people make poor decisions during this time due to the emotional disruption caused by divorce. At Furubotten Law, we have a unique understanding of the emotional and legal issues our clients face during a divorce. We excel at helping our clients make the best choices for their futures while remaining sensitive to the emotional challenges during this difficult time.
