Fresno Divorce and Separation Law
Fresno divorce and separation attorney Gilbert Fisher has years of experience with divorce cases and proceedings in California. The way divorce is handled in the United States is a matter of state law. In most states, a marriage can be terminated by an action for divorce, dissolution, or annulment. In recent years, however, more federal legislation has been enacted affecting the rights and responsibilities of divorcing spouses.
A divorce can be filed when your marriage is irretrievably broken and you feel you want a permanent separation. Your divorce is final after the court issues the final decree granting the divorce and six months have passed from the time the divorce was filed. A divorce is a legally binding contract where personal assets and huge rewards can be won and lost. Divorce is not the end of the world, it is really a chance for a new beginning. However, the process is rarely easy.
There are two basic approaches to divorce: fault-based divorce and "no fault" divorce. Most states, including California, permit a "no fault" divorce on the grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Some states still require a fault-based divorce, some allow no-fault divorces, and a few states permit both. The fault grounds or reasons for divorce vary from state to state, so be sure you consult with your attorney to understand your particular situation.
