Already Divorced And Now Need To Modify Judgment

Posted by Tim Blankenship on

When you complete your divorce in California and have your final judgment, there may come a time when you need to make modifications to your judgment.  This may be to modify things such as child support, child custody or spousal support which are the most frequently changed things.

Watch this short video where i explain how to divorce motions after your divorce is finalized.



This can be accomplished by filing a stipulation with the court if the parties agree to the changes.  Otherwise, you need to file a motion with the court (called an RFO) and have it served on your spouse.

When it comes to serving divorce judgment modifications on your spouse after you divorce is finalized, you will usually have to serve it personally on the other party.  When i say you, i mean you have to have someone else personally serve them and have the proof of service filed with the court.

 

Telling Your Spouse You Want A Divorce | Santa Clarita Divorce

How To Tell Your Spouse You Want A Divorce 

One of the hardest things you will have to do when you decide you want to get a divorce in Santa Clarita is to tell your spouse.  When and how you do it is completely up to you, but i can tell you from experience that sooner vs later is usually better.

We have been helping folks going through divorce throughout California and many people tell us that there is some apprehension in letting their spouse know that they want a divorce or have filed for divorce.

I can certainly understand that nervousness that is present when you know you need to do something unpleasant such as filing for divorce or telling your spouse you want a divorce.  Telling your spouse you want a divorce is the first big step and I have had plenty of clients who have asked the best way to tell their spouse they want a divorce.

I think the best way to tell your spouse you want a divorce depends a lot on your specific situation.  When you go through a divorce, it is going to be important that there is good communication throughout the process to ensure you have a cooperative divorce in Santa Clarita and don’t end up fighting and spending all your money one divorce lawyers.

Once you decide to tell your spouse you want a divorce, it may be a good idea to find a time that would be appropriate, perhaps when the kids are gone or one the weekend when you don’t already have the rush around for work and school, etc.  While divorce is a tough subject and will be a stressful time, adding the fact that one of you is headed out for work or just returned from a long days work won’t make things much better.

When going through the divorce process in Santa Clarita, there probably is not good time to tell your spouse, but it has to be done.  If you want your divorce to go smoothly, you are going to have to communicate with you spouse, now more than ever.  It won’t be easy, but we can help you  get through the divorce process in Santa Clarita or anywhere in California.

We are a full service divorce paralegal firm here in Santa Clarita and serve all of California with divorce preparation.

Does It Matter Who Files For Divorce First | Santa Clarita Divorce

Does It Matter Who Files For Divorce First | Santa Clarita Divorce

Hi! This is Tim Blankenship, owner of SCV Legal Doc Assist. I’m a licensed and bonded legal document assistant specializing in the divorce process in California.

Today we’re answering the question “Does it matter if I file for divorce first or is there a disadvantage to my spouse filing for divorce and me being the respondent?”.

I get that question all the time, parties calling me saying “oh I think my wife is going to file for divorce, should I file first? Is there any advantage?”

Here is the video where I explain if it matters who files for divorce first.

So, because I’m not an attorney I cannot technically give you legal advice but I can point you in the right direction of where to find this information. So what I will do is direct you to the court’s website and they’ve answered the question here for us.

What it says here is ‘Am I at a disadvantage if my spouse or domestic partner files for divorce first?’

  1. Normally, it does not matter who is the first to file the divorce papers. The court does not give any preference to the first person to file (the petitioner), or any disadvantage to the person who is the respondent.

So, there you have it folks. It doesn’t matter if you file it first. In fact, I had this question just come up yesterday— one of the spouses called me and he was getting ready to file and he said that he’s advised by his spouse that his is going to run out and file first and I said “That’s fine, let her do it”. According to the courts, they don’t give a preference either way.

The paperwork is going to be the same. You’ll just be the respondent instead of the petitioner.

Again, this is Tim Blankenship, owner of SCV Legal Doc Assist.  We are headquartered in Santa Clarita, CA and serve all the courts in California.

We provide affordable divorce document preparation services. We can get you all the way through the divorce process at an affordable price.

 

We Handle Divorce Cases Anywhere In California

Posted by Tim Blankenship on

How are you doing? This is Tim Blankenship, owner of SCV Legal Doc Assist, a licensed and bonded legal document preparation firm specializing in divorce.

Anyways, as I drive out to Rancho Cucamonga, I remember that I have several cases in the Rancho Cucamonga courts, in the San Bernardino County courts, and wanted to comment on the fact that a lot of folks don’t know that even though we are headquartered in Santa Clarita, that we service all courts in Los Angeles county, as well as other surrounding counties in California

The divorce process is identical aside from there being a few local forms which are easy to locate once you’re on the website.

Our firm has cases in San Bernardino County, San Diego County, up in Sacramento; just about everywhere.

There are like fifty some odd counties in California, and we have cases in quite a few of them. So if you are anywhere in California and you happen to read this article, we can help you.

Some folks locally like to drive in, I don’t know, maybe a fifty-sixty mile radius, but many of our cases that we handle are completely done over the phone, by fax and email.

So, give us a call. You can reach us direct at 661-281-0266, or you can get more information on our website at divorce661.com.

Court Facilitator vs. Court Mediator | Los Angeles Superior Court

Posted by Tim Blankenship on

Hi! This is Tim Blankenship, owner of divorce661.com. Today I want to talk to you about the difference between the court mediator and the court facilitator. These are two services that are free. If you consider paying your filing fee with the court, part of the services of the court is to be able to use the court facilitator and the court mediation services.

So here’s the difference.  The court mediator is an attorney who works for the court and a neutral third party and will assist you in helping you come to an agreement on certain issues. These issues generally relate to your child support, child custody and child visitation issues. .

Mediation is required if you go and you’ve filed a motion for child support, child custody, child visitation or some type of request for order regarding those issues, or you can make an appointment with them at any time when you need assistance coming up with a parenting plan.

The court facilitator on the other hand is another attorney working for the court and is another neutral party that doesn’t represent either one of you and their job is to help you come up with a solution for spousal support, that’s their sole function.

So if you have questions regarding spousal support, how much you have to pay and what the law says as much as spousal support is concerned, you can go work with the court’s facilitator to help come up with a figures for as how much is spousal support,  if any is going to be paid.

Both these services are provided by the court. They are not mandatory that you come up with an agreement. They’re not going to force you into an agreement.

They’re there to educate you and hopefully help you come to an agreement regarding child support, child visitation and overall parenting plan.

With the mediation service and with the facilitator to help you come up with help as far as spousal support is concern.
