This summer, the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled that the state’s courts had jurisdiction to grant the divorce of a same-sex Wyoming couple who legally married in Canada. (See Blog). Now, Washington D.C. is set to provide same-sex couples who got married in the District of Columbia with a way to get divorced. (See Article) D.C. […]
California is a community property state, which means that all property, with certain exceptions, acquired during marriage is considered to be a part of the marital community and not one’s separate property. At common law, there is a rebuttable “form of title” presumption which, absent a contrary state law or proof as to otherwise, deems […]

It used to be the case that people would turn to phonebooks to find an attorney. Based on little more than an affinity for the particular lawyer’s ad—from an appealing graphic or clever quote—people would hire a lawyer. Today, in the world of websites, ratings, and reviews, the landscape is much different. With websites like […]
Spousal support and prenuptial agreements often make headlines in high profile divorces; however, the lesser known separation agreement (a type of post-nuptial agreement) can also pose difficult issues for divorced couples.

Media outlets reported that actor Kelsey Grammer, who is embroiled in a contentious divorce with his third wife Camille Grammer, put together a proposal in which the parties would live in separate parts of the country (he in Chicago, Camille in California) and they would each have primary custody of one of their two children; […]
The California Appellate Court recently upheld a spousal support waiver in a pre-nuptial agreement despite the fact that, under current California Law, the provision should be struck down as invalid.
