The path to Legal Separation and Divorce can be both legally intricate and emotionally draining. Unlike a divorce, a legal separation does not end the marriage, but allows other possible benefits. A divorce may take longer than a separation.
Parentage Deterimination
Parentage determination is a legal process that establishes the legal parents of a child.
Juvenile Dependency
Juvenile dependency court handles cases of children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent or caregiver. The court decides if the allegations are true.
Appeals
Appeals often times subject lower superior courts to review decisions and orders made.
