Most people think hiring an attorney means you're headed straight for court.
But here’s the truth…

Being in litigation doesn’t mean you’re avoiding mediation — 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁.
Why?

Because almost 𝟵𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 before ever stepping into a courtroom.

Here’s what actually happens in a divorce:
– You start the case with the petition and summons
– You exchange financial disclosures
– And then you still have to reach actual agreements

And that last part?
That’s where mediation becomes essential.

Attorneys can advise you, explain your options, and tell you the best possible outcomes.

But a mediator is trained to help both sides:
– bridge communication gaps
– resolve conflict without escalating it
– create clear, enforceable written agreements

Even when couples are deep in litigation, attorneys know the case still has to be settled.

That’s why they often refer clients to mediation ⟹ sometimes both lawyers even attend a session together, on Zoom or in the office, to settle everything in a single day.

Mediation isn’t a backup plan.
It’s often the fastest, least stressful path to getting the agreements you need.

When you understand that, the entire process feels a lot less overwhelming.

Most people dividing retirement funds in divorce don’t realize there’s a hidden extra step.

And if you skip it, you could face taxes and penalties you never expected.

A Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or QDRO, is issued after your divorce judgment, and it is what legally allows you to divide a 401(k) or pension without triggering early withdrawal fees.

Here’s what most people don’t know:
– Your attorney or mediator usually can’t prepare this for you
– You’ll likely need a specialist, like a QDRO attorney or CPA
– It must be filed separately, only after your judgment is finalized
– It’s what lets the non employee spouse roll their share into a rollover IRA safely

A bit more paperwork, yes, but absolutely worth avoiding unnecessary taxes and keeping your retirement intact.

When you hear the word QDRO, remember this 👉 it’s the step that protects both spouses financially for the long term. 💫

Think divorce lets you make big moves without telling your ex? Not in California. 📍🌴

ASTROs apply to everyone the moment the divorce summons is served, whether you're litigating or mediating.

Here’s what these automatic temporary restraining orders actually stop you from doing:
– Getting a new or replacement passport for your child without permission
– Taking your child out of state without written consent
– Getting loans, mortgages, or encumbering shared property
– Closing accounts or changing beneficiaries
– Making large purchases or unusual transfers
– Spending beyond ordinary day-to-day needs

ASTROs exist to protect both parties during the divorce process, but you have to know the rules to avoid major issues.

When in doubt, ask.
Get written permission.
Take screenshots.

✨ If you're in a California divorce, read page two of Form 110, the summons — it's where every restriction lives.
