Believe it or not, divorce was illegal in South Carolina until 1949 and in Nebraska until 1972! Before then, couples had to prove extreme circumstances, like abandonment or abuse, just to separate.

Today, California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. If you're considering divorce, FADEM Law is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise. 💼

✅ Note important events—record school activities, medical appointments, and daily routines.
✅ Document communication—save texts and emails related to co-parenting.

Having clear, organized records can strengthen your case in custody proceedings. Need guidance? FADEM Law is here to help.

Yes! In California, grandparents can petition for custody if it's in the child’s best interest, especially if the parents are unfit or unable to provide proper care. Courts consider:

🔹 The child’s emotional bond with the grandparents
🔹 The stability and safety of the child’s home life
🔹 Parental fitness and ability to provide care

At FADEM Law, we help grandparents navigate the legal process to ensure children are in a safe and loving environment. Contact us today for guidance. 💙

Think annulments are only for short marriages? Not always! In California, an annulment can be granted regardless of how long you’ve been married—but only if certain legal grounds exist, such as:

⚖️ Fraud or misrepresentation (one spouse lied about something significant)
⚖️ Bigamy (one spouse was already married)
⚖️ Incapacity (one spouse was unable to consent to the marriage)

An annulment is different from a divorce because it legally erases the marriage as if it never happened. If you believe your marriage qualifies, Fadem Law can help you navigate the process.
