Property Must Be Listed In Petition – California Divorce

If you’ve watched our videos you know that we’re always the first to report changes in policy or procedure with the court system in regards to Divorce in California and we just got notified

And usually this is because of trial and error. We submit so many cases to the courts in California that we’re usually the first company to be notified of any changes.

And usually that’s not them calling us and saying ‘Hey Tim, there’s been some changes.’ Because there are always changes to the courts occurring they don’t usually publicized those.

So we’ll normally be notified by getting a rejection of a judgment indicating some of the new policy.

In this particular case this came from the Pasadena Courthouse. This judgment rejection specifically and even more specifically came from judge R. Carlton Seaver in department as one.

And this is again in the Pasadena Courthouse. And it’s interesting just to know quickly before we get into this that the courts every courthouse operates slightly different although there are general policies and procedures to be followed.

But each department so each court room each judge also slightly alters the way they operate their court room.

In this particular case we have never seen this before. So what this is in this judgment was something we prepare that was rejected.

It basically says that no order in default judgment if not requested in petition. And this is regarding property division.

Now we’ve always reported that if you file a default where there’s no response and the other party is not involved that you have to divide the community property evenly.

That’s not what we’re talking about here. What this is saying is that in the petition when you file that petition on the bottom of page one, it talks about your separate property.

And at the top of page two it talks about your community property.

This is saying that if on the petition you do not indicate community property either on the petition itself or on the FL-160 which is a property declaration and attach that to the petition and serve that along with the petition at the same time the judge will not make any property orders.

And the reason this is different is because routinely for years we have submitted petitions without listing any property and we simply say to be amended.

And that has been satisfactory through all the courts in California for as long as we’ve doing this.

This particular judge now has decided that he is not going to allow us to amend the petition through filing the default along with the property declarations. So Iet me back that up so it makes sense.

In the petition if you don’t list community property either on the petition itself or in the FL-160 and serve simultaneously with the petition you can’t ask for default in with the property because what we would normally do is put ‘to be amended’ for community property and then we would file the request in our default with the property declarations listing their community property and this particular judge in Pasadena is now saying that is not going to work.

So we’ll just have to learn as we go with regards to Pasadena we will make sure to comply with this particular judge’s rule.

But I want you to know that if you have Pasadena default case that this is going to be an issue of rejection that is not been discussed or at least talked about like we are today.

So we want to get this out on video. If you have any question about this feel free to give me a call.

The number is 661-281-0266. We are a Full Service Divorce Paralegal Firm specializing California Divorce.

So if you need assistance with your Divorce we’d be happy to pick up where you’ve left off or if you’re just getting ready to file your Divorce case please give us a call.

Why We Give Our California Divorce Information Away For Free

Today, I want to talk about a phone call I got yesterday. We had a potential client call and I was talking to her on the phone and we’re talking for about 15-20 minutes.

She’s asking a lot of questions, a lot of questions that we get everyday about the process and procedure of divorce and how things work and so forth.

And she said that she’s been calling around and she had talked to some other folks. And that she felt that they were all about the money.

They didn’t want to give too much information. They were just ‘Here is what we’ll do for you. Here is how much is going to cost. No, we’re not going to tell you the process.’

And really what it was is they were afraid. These people are afraid you’re just going to take the information and go do your own divorce.

In fact one of the folks that she spoke to said, ‘I don’t want to give you…I’ve already given you too much free information.’

And I was shocked to someone actually said that. So she was on the phone with someone whether it’d be an attorney or service like myself, and they told her ‘I’m giving you too much free information.’

And they won’t talk to her anymore. And I was shocked because if you know anything about our company and our over 800 we’ve done in our podcast, our radio show, our thousands of articles we’ve written on our blog we give it all away and we give it all away for free.

And I love the fact on one hand that all these people are afraid to give out the information because it makes my information more valuable.

In addition to that who are you going to turn to once you’ve watched my video and maybe you attempted to do your own divorce or gave you some insights for information and who are you going to turn to when you do need help with your divorce?

It’s going to be the person who helped you whether that’d be if you’ve listened to our podcast, watching our video or maybe we had our phone consultation and you’re still considering things.

You definitely not going to go to that person, who told you,’ I’ve already given you too much free information.’

That said when you’re going to go through a divorce use the folks that you trust.

And I’ll you one thing too what bothers me that’s why I like about it when I don’t like about it is this is so indicative of the industry of the legal field especially among attorneys.

If you go consultation they won’t tell you anything. They will answer your legal questions.

But they will keep you in the dark and my belief as I do this specifically to keep you in the dark so you’re more reliant on their services.

When you use our services we talked to you about the entire process, procedure, we keep you in a loop because you need to know what’s going on and understand the process.

We have calls day in and day out from people who had been dropped by their attorney for one reason or another usually because they ran out of money.

And they are clueless, asked you what’s going on or where their cases at because they kind of just said ‘Here’s the money. Take it and run.’

And now they’re stuck no money and calls us to the process and procedure. So my stake on this is we’ve given it all away for free.

We have so many resources. We know people use our videos and complete their entire divorce case.

They email us and say ‘Tim thanks I watch your videos and I completed my divorce.’

Now my competitors tell me ‘Tim why are you doing this? You’re taking food and money out at our mouths and out at our pockets.’

And I say ‘That’s not true. These people who use these free resources are never going to hire us for this service.’

They are people either don’t have money or they have so much time on their hand that they’re able to do this.

But for the people we’re shooting for and they were trying to attract us folks who are too busy to do this who are looking for we’d had this professionally done.

And I’ll tell you the information we put out for free comes back ten fold every time.

Feel free to give me a call for a free phone consultation or go on to our website at Divorce661.com where we have a wealth of free information.

California Divorce | What To Do Before You Hire An Attorney

Today we’re talking about how to save money with your Divorce.

Now what we’ve seen lately is a trend where people are hiring attorneys where I have to bet spending all their money and then before the Divorce is finished running out of money whether that was your only 5,000 you had for retainer and now that’s gone.

Or if you’ve spent $20-$30-$50 a $100,000 and now your money is all gone.

Regardless of what that point is where you ran out of money the problem is your case is unfinished and now you’re left high and dry without an attorney because they’re going to drop you as soon as you stopped making the payment and you’re going to have to go to trial on your own.

Now sadly in my opinion that’s when you need the attorney the most is when you’re going to trial.

And now you’re there to do it on your own. So here’s my recommendation and we try and get this videos in front of people before they hire an attorney.

We’re not saying attorneys are bad. We’re just saying they’re very costly.

Start your Divorce with us whether or not you think you may need an attorney or not because we can get so much of the paperwork done for such a much lower cost than what the attorneys going to charge you to get that point.

We found people have put a $5,000 retainer down. And all they’ve done is had the Divorce filed, served and their preliminary declaration of disclosure done.

So this is all paperwork. None of this requires an attorney or legal advice.

Letters had been written, emails have been exchanged and their $5,000 is gone.

And they’re not even halfway done with their Divorce. They haven’t even had a date in court.

So what I’m saying is use our service to file your case. We’ll complete the documents.

We’ll take them down to court. We’ll file it and take care of serving it just like an attorney does.

Let us work on your financial disclosures, your preliminary declaration disclosure, your income, your income and expense declaration, schedule of assets and debts and get all that filed and served.

We can even file motions on your behalf.  We can file motions, write declarations, get you court dates, mediation dates, facilitator dates.

We do everything a law firm does in that respect but for a much lower cost.

Then prior to hearing you can choose to represent yourself or at that point that’s when you hire the attorney.

Now you’ve got three courses all the way to the process and now the money can be better spent on them representing you in court and that’s the way we see things.

Well give me a call. Hopefully you watch this before you start your Divorce.

If not if you’re halfway through you can still get a lot of documentation done for you.

We serve all of California and we work on flat fee pricing. I’ll be happy to discuss your particular circumstance and give you quote for this specific service you are looking for.

661-281-0266 or you can also go to Divorce661.com for more information.

 

California Divorce Trial Preparation Service

We have been getting a lot of calls for what we call Trial Preparation document preparation related to trials for Divorce.

So if you’re going through Divorce and you don’t come to an agreement ultimately that will lead to trial.

Before trial you’re going to have to attend series of meetings, trials and conferences mandatory settlement conferences and then ultimately you’ll go trial.

Before each of these hearings there are various paperwork that is required to be done.

Generally speaking we’re talking about exhibit lists, witness lists.

We’re talking about trial briefs, mandatory settlement conference briefs and all of these takes certain level of expertise to provide and to complete.

Generally speaking you’ll need an attorney. Otherwise you can use services like ours especially if you’re representing yourself.

Or in many cases what we found people have run out of money prior to trial with their attorney, their attorney has dropped them.

And now they need a service like ours who can at a more affordable level provide these services of trial preparation.

So if you find yourself heading towards trial what’s going to happen is you’re going to get a sheet of paper from the court.

It’s going to give you specific instructions of what needs to be prepared and what needs to be filed and served, however many days prior to the hearing.

So if you’re going to need this service we do offer a Trial Prep Service as much as more affordable than attorney.

So please give us a call if you need any of those services.

Trial briefs, MSE briefs, exhibit lists or witness lists, anything else that has to do with trial prep usually we’ll have to do your final declaration of disclosure.

And there’s a lot of effort that goes into that.

So please give us a call and please give us a call with an advance time because it does take a long time to get the amount of paperwork the court request completed.

Feel free to give me a call for a free consultation 661-281-0266.

Hired Divorce Attorney | Out Of Money | Divorce Not Finished | California Divorce

I want to talk about something we’re seeing happened more frequently in an ongoing basis than we have in times passed.

I don’t know what is causing this but we are getting a lot of calls where people who have hired an attorney spent all their money, have gone bankrupt.

I mean we’ve seen very severe cases and their Divorce is still not done. And we’re not talking about major cases.

We’re just talking about your everyday case where the parties are in disagreement. And they’re bills are running $20,000 $40,000, $60,000, $80,000 and they’ve run out of money.

They’ve tapped out all their credit cards. They’ve spent their 401Ks.

They have done everything to kind of fight the other party and their Divorce isn’t done.

And what bothers me is they’ve spent all these money on attorneys. As soon as you stop giving them additional retainers or paying the bill they will drop you.

And if you’ve been through that you know exactly what I’m talking about.

If you’re watching this and that hasn’t happened that is what’s going to happen. As soon as you stop paying they’re going to drop you.

And if your case isn’t done the problem with that is you’re probably getting into the point where you need to go to trial.

And trial in my opinion is where you need the attorney the most. That’s where they’re going to stand up, argue on your behalf and try and get you the things that you want.

All the paperwork and things that were done up to that point whether it’d be over period of months or years when you see go on for years all these money has been spent paying $300, $400 or $500 an hour.

What we suggest is if you are going to get a Divorce and you know you’re going to need an attorney try and save some of your money upfront by using our service to file court documents.

And I can give you a perfect example. We’ve had many clients who’ve come to us say, ‘Tim I know I need an attorney but I don’t want to spend $400 $500 an hour to have them prep documents and get the case filed.’

So what they’ve done is they’ve come to us. We’ve filed their case, done their financial disclosures.

We’ve filed motions. We set court dates. We responded to motions.

We did everything and then a few weeks off from any hearings that they’re going to that’s when you hire an attorney if that’s what you need to do or you can simply represent yourself.

We’ve had clients saved thousands and thousands of dollars.

The work we’ve performed would have cost them their entire $5,000 retainer up to what we’ve done.

And then now they can save that money and it could be spent better by the attorney appearing in court and arguing on their behalf.

That’s just my take on things.

Feel free to give me a call for a free phone consultation whether you are about to be dropped or you’re getting ready to file for Divorce give me a call so we can save you some money.
