Prepared for Litigation & Divorce Mediation
*As Certified Family Law Specialists, our leading attorneys are experts in the field of family law. This is an honor only a small percentage of lawyers obtain in the state of California. Our specialists are prepared to protect your interests while guiding you through either divorce litigation or mediation, whichever approach your case calls for.
Divorce mediation is a process that takes place outside the courtroom between divorcing spouses and a third-party mediator. Working together, a settlement is mutually agreed upon and then implemented as a court order.
- The advantages of divorce mediation can include:
- A more cost-effective alternative to litigation.
- The opportunity to dictate the terms of the settlement.
- The fostering of a more amicable relationship moving forward.
Not all divorcing couples are capable of engaging in this sort of back-and-forth. As such, divorce mediation is not for everyone. The family law attorneys at Burch Shepard Family Law Group work with each client to determine whether litigation or divorce mediation is in their best interests.

What are the grounds for divorce in California?
In California, you can file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences or incurable insanity. Irreconcilable differences are the most common grounds for divorce and refer to the breakdown of the marriage with no possibility of reconciliation.
-
How is child custody determined in California?
Child custody in California is determined based on the best interests of the child. Factors such as the child's age, health, and relationship with each parent are considered. The court may also consider the child's preference if they are of sufficient age and maturity to express their wishes.
-
What is the process for obtaining a restraining order in California?
To obtain a restraining order in California, you must file a request with the court detailing the reasons for the order. If the judge finds that there is a sufficient basis for the restraining order, it will be issued. The restrained party will then be served with the order, and a hearing will be scheduled.
-
Can grandparents seek visitation rights in California?
Yes, under certain circumstances, grandparents in California can seek visitation rights. If the court determines that visitation is in the best interests of the child, it may grant grandparents the right to visitation, particularly if it is in the child's best interests.
-
What is the difference between legal separation and divorce in California?
Legal separation in California allows couples to live separately and address issues such as spousal support and child custody without officially ending the marriage. Divorce, on the other hand, legally terminates the marriage, allowing both parties to remarry and dividing assets and debts.
