FAQ

  • Homepage Divorce FAQs

    • Why does having a CPA on my legal team matter for my divorce?
      In California, divorce is as much a financial transaction as a legal one. Because Attorney Kenneth U. Reyes is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), our firm can identify hidden assets, accurately value businesses, and calculate complex tax implications that general family lawyers might overlook. This is a critical advantage in high-net-worth cases or when one spouse manages the family finances.

    • What Are the Grounds for Divorce in California?

      California is a no-fault divorce state, which means you do not need to prove wrongdoing by your spouse. Irreconcilable differences is the most common reason, allowing either spouse to file for divorce at any time.

    • How Long Does the Divorce Process Take in Los Angeles?

      Every case is unique. Some uncontested divorces may be finalized after six months, while complex or contested cases can take significantly longer, especially if disputes require court hearings or extensive discovery. Your Los Angeles divorce lawyer can explain expected timelines for your circumstances.

      Organize important documents, including tax returns, deeds, bank statements, loan records, and lists of marital assets or debts. Meet with your Los Angeles divorce attorney to discuss your goals and obtain preliminary legal and financial advice to begin planning for life after divorce.

    • Can We Change Our Divorce Agreement?

      Agreements on child custody, support, or spousal support may be modified if there is a significant change in your life circumstances. Modifications can help petition for changes in the Los Angeles courts, ensuring the new terms are appropriate and legally enforceable.

    • What Happens If My Spouse Is Hiding Assets During a Divorce in Los Angeles?
      Concealing assets is unlawful and can have serious legal consequences. Our Los Angeles divorce attorneys are skilled in uncovering hidden income, property, or accounts. We work to ensure transparency and advocate for equitable division based on the full extent of all marital assets.
    • What Happens if Your Spouse Refuses to Sign Divorce Papers?

      Custody, property, and support issues can move forward even if one spouse is unwilling to cooperate or evades court service. In Los Angeles, courts are equipped to address situations where a spouse ignores the divorce process. Judges may allow alternative methods of serving papers if standard attempts fail and will set hearings to address all outstanding matters if a party defaults. Law Offices of Kenneth U. Reyes, APC will ensure every effort is made to serve your spouse according to local court requirements and to pursue alternative service when necessary, protecting your right to a timely resolution.

      The Los Angeles Superior Court frequently conducts default hearings, where the participating spouse presents evidence and makes requests for a proposed judgment. Having a dedicated Los Angeles divorce attorney means no opportunity is missed in pursuing the full relief you are entitled to under California law—even when the other party is uncooperative or difficult to locate.
