Divorce can become complicated and challenging, regardless of your situation. When it's time to dissolve your marriage, you'll need the help of Jim Canday, an experienced Bakersfield divorce attorney to make sure you're getting a fair day in court. Divorce in California can be complex and offer very challenging issues.
If you have been married, and you've come to realize that the marriage was a mistake based on facts that weren't necessarily true, then you may be able to obtain an annulment rather than endure a lengthy divorce proceeding. An annulment essentially declares the marriage null and void, while a divorce dissolves the marriage entirely.

He defended the other party and tried to accuse me of forging a paper that was signed by his client although that document was notarized. To be a lawyer, he should understand that you can’t get an signature from a document requiring a notary without that person present, paying a fee, providing their drivers license or ID, and their fingerprint. Just because his client didn’t want to admit he signed that paper. In front of the judge he was yelling at me in the witness stand and felt personally attacked. However, it was apparent as the court ruled in my favor. I did not appreciate his behavior

Mr Canaday has done a lot more compared to my last attorney. My last attorney pretty much did nothing but nickel & dime me. Mr Canaday is very informative & has always advised me to the best of his knowledge plus what is normally done in certain situations. I highly recommend Canaday Law office. Thanks Canaday & Staff for all that you do.
