The divorce process varies from case to case depending on a wide range of factors. To obtain a divorce judgment in Santa Clara County the parties have to work through a number of required steps. First which court is the proper location to file a case. The issue of venue is determined based on the party or their spouse having been a resident of California for 6 months and the county for 3 months prior to filing the case.

A marital settlement agreement can be very beneficial to the parties involved because instead of fighting battles in court they are working together and with their divorce attorney saving time, money and heartache. Additionally, because the terms of the divorce have been pre-arranged by the parties there is only need for one court appearance. The marital settlement agreement provides the parties with a vehicle to reach an amicable settlement in lieu of further litigation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mediation is often where the couple, along with their Santa Clara County, Monterey County or Sacramento County, will draft their marital settlement agreement incorporating each of the respective terms and conditions. Once the parties have reached an agreement the divorce is settled by the Final Judgment of Divorce by the court. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement of the settlement, then further litigation will ensue and the divorce case will likely move toward a contested final hearing where the court will decide and adjudicate the rights of the parties.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
