DIVORCE, LEGAL SEPARATION, ANNULMENT

DIVORCE:  Most common way to legally dissolve your marriage in California.  No proof of wrongdoing is necessary because California is a "No Fault” state.  Once a Judgment of Dissolution of marriage is obtained your status as a legally "single” person is restored.

LEGAL SEPARATION:  If you want to maintain your status as a legally "married” person, but have the Court determine your marital rights and financial obligations legal separation should be considered.  This is most commonly used to maintain employer provided health insurance on the non-employed spouse.  

ANNULMENT:  Appropriate when your marriage was never valid.  Some examples include incest, bigamy, persons under 18-years-old, prior existing marriage or registered domestic partnership, unsound mind, force, incapacity or fraud.  Annulments are rare and require proof.
