People ask whether a California "Easy Divorce" is possible. Sure
it is - when both parties will work together to expedite the
process. A California "Easy Divorce" will not be completed when
the husband or the wife wants to dispute any of the issues. Just
like other states, California has set rules that have to be
followed before you can get a divorce. This fact is unavoidable.
Clients ask, how is it possible for one spouse to impede a
California "Easy Divorce"? They can do so by arguing about
issues, such as grounds for divorce under circumstances where
grounds are required to be agreed on, or by choosing to

Children and Divorce
You and your spouse have decided to end your marriage. Although this has been a difficult decision for you and your spouse, it can be a very complicated one for your children. Divorce in many ways is like facing a death in the family, and a grieving process takes place for everyone involved.
Often times after a divorce, you need to rediscover who you are, overcome your own fears and determine how to begin making a new life for you and your children. Once the grieving process has taken place, don't assume things will suddenly go smoothly -- especially when you start dating again. It may be hard for your children to adjust to the "new you" and patience is key. The process of adapting may take longer than what you would like and your children's emotions may be like a roller coaster ride. You have spent years parenting your children and devoting your life to them. Now that you are focusing more time on yourself, your children may become disheartened and insecure. It's extremely important that at this time you strive to attain a balance in your life and enter this new phase of your life gradually. Your children will need you more than ever for support, comfort and reassurance. Many times children become unsure of themselves and aren't sure where they fit into your life, but rest assured that eventually they will come around.
As you begin uncovering the new you, it's not wrong to make time for yourself, but when it seems appropriate, include your children. You are a mom first, and you would not want to sacrifice the needs of your children. Maintain moments of "single" freeness to time with your friends and not in front of your children. As you begin dating again, feeling silly, giddy and young, do it in a way that doesn't affect them. Introducing a lot of casual dates into your children's lives can cause anxiety and confusion. Reassure them that your date is not a replacement for "dad" or them. You would not want your children to feel they are being abandoned.
Your children still need to know that you are the parent and that they can depend on you to provide the love and emotional stability they need.

In most states, a court's decision about child custody during a
divorce used to be simple to make. The judge would give custody
to the mom. The dad got alternating weekend visitation. Now,
custody decisions are drastically more complex. Many states have
adopted a standard called "best interests of the child." Judges
are required to weigh a list of factors to determine which
parent is the proper custodian of the children. The level of
complexity in custody decisions has drastically risen and
decisions are no longer clear-cut.
Florida is one state that places an emphasis on the protection
of children involved in a divorce. The
