Understanding the Family Law Process in Pasadena

In Pasadena and throughout Los Angeles County, most family law matters begin with the filing of a petition and related forms, followed by serving the other party. California law requires one spouse to have lived in the state for at least six months and in the county where the divorce is filed for at least three months before filing. A responding party has 30 days after service to file a response, and preliminary financial disclosures are due within 60 days of filing the petition or response. These are general timelines under California family law and may vary based on individual circumstances.

From there, the court may set hearings, require the exchange of financial information, or order both sides to attend mediation for issues such as parenting plans. Custody and parenting-time matters may involve mediation through Family Court Services at the Pasadena Courthouse. Our family law lawyers guide clients through each of these stages, both inside and outside the courtroom, and explain available options at every step.
