If one spouse or domestic partner wishes to end the marriage or domestic partnership, even if the other spouse or domestic partner does not want a divorce, they can file for a dissolution of marriage (divorce) or domestic partnership. California is a "no fault" state, meaning that the spouse or domestic partner that is filing for a divorce does not have to prove that the other spouse or domestic partner did anything wrong.
AUBURN CHILD SUPPORT ATTORNEY - A request to establish or modify child support can be brought by either party as part of a divorce, legal separation, or annulment, a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship (unmarried parents), a domestic violence restraining order, or a Petition for Custody and Support of Minor Children (parents who have signed a voluntary Declaration of Paternity or are married, or registered domestic partners and do not want to get legally separated or divorced).

You may also hear some refer to spousal support as alimony. Going through a divorce is a difficult time for people.
AUBURN CHILD CUSTODY ATTORNEY, Sara S. Thompson - Without a doubt, this is the primary focus and concern of the majority of people going through a dissolution or paternity action. The love that a parent has for their child(ren) is unmatched to anything else. There are two ways you can obtain a custody and visitation order.
