The complexity of a divorce in CA can vary wildly based on a variety of factors and circumstances. In our experience, some of the factors that tend to add layers of complexity to any divorce include whether there are any disagreements/disputes involving child custody, as well as any financial matters or challenges that both parties can expect to deal with down the line.
In many CA divorces, people will seek to gain as much evidence as possible to demonstrate their grievances. Many of them do this with the hope that it can help shift the divorce proceedings in their favor or towards a specific desired outcome. One of these common types of evidences includes audio recordings of conversations.
Divorce impacts much more than just your relationship with your ex-spouse. It can shape other facets of your life such as your living and commute arrangements, workplace relationships and/or performance, and your financial future. Given that divorce is a major disruption on many levels, it is normal to feel unsure or anxious about what your post-divorce income and financial opportunities may look like.
As far as divorce topics go, discussions involving alimony are usually rife with half-truths, exaggerations, and outright myths. As is often the case, people enjoy sharing advice or guidance, even in the legal sphere and you may routinely hear caveats or ominous warnings regarding the potential of divorce and alimony.
In CA law, spouses are entitled to confidentiality when it comes to any private communications between both parties. In a legal sense, this means that a spouse may not be compelled to testify about these private matters to a court of law. The idea behind this is that it helps foster spousal harmony and prevents situations where one spouse is condemning the other, etc.
