The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.

In some states, you could accidentally find yourself married without a formal ceremony! 💍 Known as "common law marriage," this legal concept recognizes relationships as marital even without a license or official ceremony.

But don't worry, California doesn't recognize common law marriage. So, you can enjoy your relationship without the added legal complications.

Divorce is tough, especially if one spouse wants it and the other doesn’t. In California, however, only one spouse’s agreement is needed to file for divorce—meaning that if you’re ready to move forward, your spouse can’t prevent you from starting the process.

Steps to Take:

1️⃣ File a Petition: Begin by filing a divorce petition in court. Your spouse will be served, and the process will officially start.

2️⃣ Consider Mediation: Mediation can help resolve disputes about assets, custody, and other aspects to reach an agreement—even if your spouse isn’t initially on board.

3️⃣ Stay Calm and Focused: A reluctant spouse can make things difficult, but staying clear-headed and understanding your rights will help you get through it smoothly.

BJ Fadem Family Law is here to guide you through each step of the divorce process, even when it’s complicated. Let us help you take that first step with confidence. 💼
