Riverside Family Law FAQs
How long does a divorce take in Riverside, CA?
The minimum time for a divorce in California is six months from the date the petition is served. However, the process can take longer depending on the complexity of the case and whether it’s contested.
What factors do courts consider in child custody cases?
Courts in California consider the child’s best interests, including each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s health and safety, and in some cases, the child’s preference (typically if the child is over 14).
Can I modify a custody or support order after the divorce is finalized?
Yes. Custody and support orders can be modified if there’s been a significant change in circumstances—such as a parent’s relocation, a change in income, or the needs of the child.
Is mediation required in Riverside family law cases?
In child custody and visitation disputes, California courts generally require parents to attend mediation before a judge makes a final ruling. Mediation aims to help parents reach a mutually agreeable solution.
What if my spouse doesn’t respond to the divorce petition?
If your spouse fails to respond within 30 days, you may request a default judgment. This allows the court to move forward without your spouse’s input, assuming proper legal procedures were followed.
Do I need a lawyer for family law matters?
While you can represent yourself, having an experienced Riverside family lawyer can significantly improve the outcome of your case. Legal proceedings can be complex, and an attorney ensures your rights are fully protected.
