Arbitration agreements are subject to certain rules in order to have enforceability under California and federal law. If an arbitration agreement fails to meet these requirements, it can be held unenforceable.
In California, marital assets and debts are divided evenly in a divorce. In California, all assets of a marriage, including 401(k)s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts or plans, will be divided.
If you're not able to use the summary dissolution procedure, then the necessary paperwork used to begin a California uncontested divorce case are the Petition for Dissolution (Divorce) of Marriage/Domestic Partnership (Form FL-100), and Summons (Form FL-110).
When it comes to divorce, California is a 50/50 state. That means that if two spouses are separating, they will typically each get half of the property and assets they acquired during the marriage with some exceptions.
To receive half of the marital assets in a California divorce, the duration of the marriage is less important than the principles of community property law. Whether a marriage lasted one year or over ten years, the assets accumulated during that period are typically divided equally.
Regardless of the length of the marriage, temporary alimony will always be an option. However, when a marriage lasted less than ten years, the permanent alimony will typically only last for about half the length of the marriage itself.
Q: Do You Get Half of Everything in a Divorce in California? A: In California, community property laws require an equal division of marital assets and debt. Each spouse is entitled to 50% of the property, assets, and debt acquired during the marriage.
The arbitrator will explain the process. Each side may present an uninterrupted opening statement setting forth its position as to the facts and the law. After opening statements, the parties present their evidence and witnesses. The arbitrator swears in the witnesses and makes rulings on the admissibility of evidence.
Always get straight to the merits without berating the other side or whining about how badly it has treated you. Another threat to your credibility is the “kitchen sink” arbitration demand or a response that includes numerous claims or defenses that have little chance of succeeding.
