Common mistakes can seriously affect a California custody or support case, even when your intentions are good.

Avoid these missteps:
• ignoring court orders
• moving with your child without legal approval
• relying on informal custody or support agreements

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

Child support is meant to support your child, not serve as income for the receiving parent.

That is why child support is not taxable income in California, and it is not tax deductible for the parent paying it.

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

Domestic violence can directly affect divorce outcomes.

When abuse is a factor, courts may consider it when deciding:
• Child custody and visitation
• Spousal support obligations
• Whether protective or restraining orders are necessary
• Whether mediation is appropriate

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

Clear documentation is important, and seeking legal guidance early can help protect your rights and your children’s well-being.

You do not have to navigate this process alone.

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

Dividing property in a California divorce can be complex. Community property is typically split equally, while separate property like pre-marriage assets, inheritances, and gifts may remain yours. Debts count too, and accurate valuations matter.

⚖️ Parenting restrictions. You may not remove children from the state.

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

A family law attorney can help you understand these requirements, protect your assets, and plan your next steps through mediation or litigation.

In California family law cases, abuse can take many forms, including:

• Financial control or isolation
• Emotional or verbal manipulation
• Coercive control and intimidation
• Technological monitoring or threats

[Steven Bishop @BishopStevenLaw]

These behaviors can significantly affect divorce proceedings.

If you are unsure whether what you are experiencing qualifies as abuse, speaking with a family law attorney who understands how California courts evaluate these situations can be an important step toward protection.
