A dissolution is the legal term for divorce–ending a marriage. Just the thought of divorce often brings out many emotions, so when the process starts, emotions are often running high.

A legal separation is similar to a divorce in certain aspects such as dividing debts and assets, custody and visitation are determined, and child support and spousal support are ordered. With a legal separation, your status of “married” remains intact. There are reasons why a legal separation or a divorce would be best in your situation. Contact Curtolo Law to discuss the best approach for your case.
Annulments have been popularized by the celebrity world, but they are not as easy to get as the media might lead you to believe. There are very specific requirements for an annulment, some of which are granted as a matter of law and others which have to be proven. An annulment has impacts on the issues of spousal support and division of assets and debts. It is important to consult an attorney to find out your options.
Paternity cases involve parents who were never married. First, each parent must be determined the legal parent of the child, which could involve genetic testing. Once resolved, the issues of custody and visitation, as well as child support will need to be determined. Contact Curtolo Law to discuss your parental rights.
There have been many recent changes to the Family Code regarding domestic partnerships and same sex marriages. Many litigants may find themselves in a domestic partnership and a same sex marriage–both of which must be dissolved upon the end of the relationship. You need a competent attorney to represent your interests.
