WHERE CAN I FIND OUT ABOUT MY RIGHTS IN A DIVORCE?

QUESTION: How can I find out about what my rights are as a mother of two kids, filing for divorce? I would like some guide about how to do it. I have been married 7 years and am a stay at home mom. I'm Spanish speaking and don't know much about legal terms.

MY RESPONSE: You are likely entitled to child custody, child support, spousal support, and an equal division of community property, but you would best be represented by an experienced Family Law Attorney. If your husband is employed, you may be able to find an attorney who can file an Order to Show Cause for Attorney's Fees (perhaps among other things) on a limited scope basis, so that you can get an Attorney's Fee Order to enable you to retain an attorney (or the limited scope attorney) on a full service basis. If you can't find an attorney after a diligent search, you can go to the Superior Court's self-help clinic to ask questions and get support and assistance from a volunteer. You can also look on www.courts.ca/gov/selfhelp-divorce.htm, which has information available in Spanish.
