Orange County Uncontested Divorce Attorney

Uncontested Divorce Attorney in Orange County

Putting an end to a marriage is not an easy decision to make. However, there are times that both sides mutually agree on all the terms for a divorce. An uncontested divorce is when both sides generally agree on all issues related to their divorce. An uncontested divorce is quicker, less complicated and much less expensive than a contested divorce. A contested divorce is where one or more issues remain unresolved which requires additional time by the court and attorneys plus a significant increase in costs. Another benefit of an uncontested divorce is that neither party would have to go to court.

How can a family lawyer help me with my uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce is a divorce decision where both spouses agree on all the major issues involved in getting as divorce, such as:

Legal child custody and Physical child custody
Sharing parenting time and responsibilities
Division of all property
Division of all assets and debts
Amount and duration of spousal support
Amount and calculation of child support

An uncontested divorce is available to couples who have no remaining disagreements. A contested divorce and uncontested divorce both start with a spouse starting a divorce by filing a petition for dissolution. The California Judicial Branch of the California Courts provides a list of FAQs for spouses considering the uncontested divorce procedure. In California, one form of uncontested divorce is called a summary dissolution. Couples that meet the requirements for a summary dissolution may further simplify the uncontested divorce process. Married couples or registered partners have to meet several requirements before they can qualify for a summary dissolution. However, most people do not meet the requirements but are still eligible to complete a standard uncontested divorce.

In contrast to contested divorce, uncontested divorce procedures in Orange County are simple, quick and less expensive because the parties have agreed to not “fight it out in court.”. Since both sides agree on the terms of the divorce, uncontested divorces have a streamlined paperwork process that includes the issues of child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and the grounds for divorce. The more simple procedure for an uncontested divorce is less expensive because both sides have agreed to not spend their money on attorney fees and additional court costs. Uncontested divorces are also quicker since the process usually involves no court hearings and less attorney time spent addressing contested legal issues. When done correctly, the parties may never have to go to court during the entire uncontested divorce process. Finally, another advantage of the course of an uncontested divorce is that it decreases the amount of conflict and animosity between the divorcing spouses.

Couples with complex arrangements – or where children are involved – may require additional paperwork or language in their divorce judgment to address their agreed on terms of settlement. As child custody is an important issue, it requires additional paperwork and attention. The experienced divorce attorneys at the Goldberg Legal Group can guide you through the legal process and find the most cost efficient path.

Testimonials

David Goldberg did a great job handling the dissolution of domestic partnership/civil union between my (now) ex-partner & I. While dealing with a very difficult time in life, he helped me to stay focused on what was necessary in the divorce process, to ensure my best interest. He fought for me through difficult negotiations, and didn’t back down from my ex’s (very) pushy attorney. He was very professional, and knowledgeable.

Matt, Domestic Partnership/Civil Union
I was in a child custody situation and desperately in need of experienced legal advice. Mr. Goldberg met with me on short notice and produced immediate results. He returns every email and phone call promptly. He is sharp, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. Excellent is an under statement, wish I could give him ore than 5 stars.

Tiffany, Expert Legal Advice & Representation
What a great and refreshing experience to have a professional answer the phone on your first call and give you guidance towards finding what works for you! David is a great asset to have on your legal team. He can act both as your lawyer in court, as well as, a guide who explains the best way to settle your case. He is very driven towards reaching a settlement and prefers not to waste the court’s time. He knows the Orange County court system extremely well and helps you navigate it.

Stanleigh
I couldn’t sleep because a family law matter was bothering me. David quickly got through my ramble and asked specific questions to hone in on the variables and gave me a informed answer. He ended up helping me on some other issues pertaining to my case and talked through my options as he saw them based on the knowledge he had.

Robert
My case involved divorce and child custody. From the moment I talked to Mr. Goldberg on the phone to schedule the initial meeting, he put me on the right track. We met the next day for two hours for no charge. Mr. Goldberg explained to me the process from beginning to end and all available options as well as their costs. Mr. Goldberg listened carefully, assessed my situation, and then recommended the best options that weren’t necessarily the highest cost as other lawyers did.

Akatamsh, a Family client
Mr. Goldberg is knowledgeable, thorough and manages his work with integrity. I had a lot of problems dealing with an Insurance company on my own. Mr. Goldberg was able to help me with the paperwork needed for my case at a reasonable rate.

Ken
I interviewed 3 attorneys before I settled on David. He listened to what my needs were & helped to facilitate my divorce in what I believe was the most pragmatic, simple & straightforward manner. David was extremely professional & always returned my correspondence quickly. I felt that his fees were very reasonable for the services he provided. Overall, I couldn’t have hoped for an easier process, & am happy with my decision to have hired David as my attorney.

Heather, a Divorce client
My ex was attempting to rake me over the coals by claiming she was owed more support and property then she deserved. I was overwhelmed and I was not interested in going through a long bitter divorce. I just wanted something fair. Mr. Goldberg made the whole thing easy and reasonable. After some negotiations, we were able to reach an agreement that I could live with and I didn’t have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to do it.
