    Assisting Clients Who Have Just Been Served With Divorce Papers

    There are few things more emotionally challenging than being served with divorce papers, especially when you are not expecting it. You may also be frightened at the prospect of losing custody of your children or making ends meet on your own. These are all legitimate concerns.

    If you have been served divorce papers in Orange County, California, it is essential to take action quickly because you typically have a period of just 30 days to respond. Failure to act in a timely manner can compromise your legal rights. Having a skilled family lawyer available to answer all of your questions, offer legal advice and help you ensure the best possible resolution to your divorce case is essential.

    Our Family Law Attorneys Can Help With a Request for Orders

    When going through a divorce in Orange County, California, the process can take many months to reach its ultimate conclusion. During this timeframe, it is typical for the spouses to begin the process of securing separate residences. As a result, you may need to approach the court to submit a Request for Order – also called an RFO – to implement temporary court orders for child support, spousal support, child custody or visitation.

    In addition, you may also need representation from an experienced family law attorney in the event that the court orders require you to attend mediation before the court will hear the RFO. Our legal team is here to offer advice, practical guidance and representation as you navigate this emotional and sometimes stressful process.

    How Do I Modify a Court Order in Orange County?

    During or after a divorce, there are some situations where court orders such as child custody, visitation, or spousal support orders need to be modified. It is important to note that these modifications can be made at any time. However, in order for these changes to be enacted, a parent must demonstrate to the court that there are current circumstances where a modification is necessary.

    If you are seeking to modify or enforce a court order, the skilled family attorneys of Sarieh Law Offices are here to help. Our team will guide you through the entire process while also filing the needed paperwork, litigating on your behalf, and much more. Our law firm offers years of experience throughout Orange County and the state of California and has helped thousands clients successfully modify their court orders.

    What Should Be Included in a Marital Agreement?

    When a marriage ends, California law will determine how your marital property and assets are divided. State law will also determine if one party will receive any spousal support, also known as alimony. This means that if the former couple is going through a divorce, the state can unfairly distribute your marital property. This process can be prevented by working with an experienced family law attorney to draft a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.

    With prenuptial or postnuptial agreements in place, the lengthy and complicated divorce process can be avoided. At Sarieh Law Offices, it is our job is to make sure that our clients are financially secure in the event that their marriage is ending. We will aggressively fight on your behalf and work towards an agreement that has your best interests in mind.

    What is the Most Common Reason for Divorce?

    Every year in the state of California, thousands of couples are making the decision to end their marriage. While every couple has unique issues and problems that can lead to this decision, there are few reasons that are quite common among most spouses who choose to divorce. One of the most common reasons for ending a marriage is poor communication in the relationship, especially when there is only one-way communication or a partner that is not being heard. This can also include when one partner is hiding something from the other.

    Another common reason for divorce is a lack of trust among both spouses. A strong marriage has to built on trust. Even if trust decreases over time, it can cause serious issues in the relationship. Being deceitful about finances, what one spouse is doing when they are not home, and infidelity are all issues that can affect negatively affect trust and cause a couple to divorce.
