Every divorce is a lawsuit that results in court orders applicable to both parties. However, the vast majority of California divorce cases settle out of court through negotiation or mediation leading to settlement of all key issues.
Couples able to resolve any disagreements involving children, support, property and other matters on their own or through their attorneys can file for uncontested divorce. Those who cannot reach agreement face the possibility of a full-blown contested divorce trial. An extremely high percentage of divorces fall in between these two scenarios — with the skill and efficiency of the lawyers involved playing a vital role in formation of a comprehensive marital settlement agreement.
