Temecula Divorce Attorney

Divorce is never easy, but working with the right lawyer can make things much easier by removing uncertainty and worry from the process. I am Dahann Bowers of Dahann Bowers Law, and I am here to help you through this challenging time. As a Temecula divorce attorney, I aim to provide you with compassionate and effective legal support to start the next chapter of your life on the right foot.

Since being admitted to The State Bar of California in 2016, I have offered a broad spectrum of legal guidance in divorce cases. My services are available in English and Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier. I am honored to have been selected for inclusion in the Super Lawyers Rising Star list in 2023 for my work.

I believe in taking a personable and individualized approach to divorce law. I make it a point to learn the names of my clients’ children and understand their unique situations, which shows that you are more than a case file to me. Your family matters to you, and it matters to me, too.

Areas Of Divorce I Help You With

I help clients with various aspects of divorce, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way:

• Property division: I work to ensure fair distribution of assets.
• Child custody and parenting time: Your children’s well-being is a top priority.
• Child support: Fair and sustainable financial support for your children.
• Spousal support (alimony): I am experienced in representing alimony seekers and those being asked to pay.
• Post-decree modifications: Problems with a divorce decree can be fixed.
• Prenuptial agreements: I prepare agreements to protect your financial future.

Residency Requirements For Divorce In California

Not everybody who lives in Temecula can file for divorce. Like most states, California has a minimum residency requirement before a married person can file here. Specifically, you or your spouse must have lived in California for at least six months and your current county for at least the last three months.

What Are The Grounds For Divorce In California?

There are two available grounds for divorce or legal separation: irreconcilable differences and permanent incapacity to make decisions.

• “Irreconcilable differences” means that problems in your marriage have caused the relationship to break down permanently. This is also known as “no-fault divorce.”
• If your spouse has become mentally incapacitated due to illness or injury, you can seek divorce on the grounds of their permanent incapacity to make decisions if you can provide medical or psychiatric testimony in support.

In What Order Do Divorce Matters Get Handled?

Like with many legal proceedings, the order in which you and your spouse deal with property division, child custody and child support depends on your particular situation. Usually, the judge will examine the evidence to decide what should be addressed first. It is important to have an experienced divorce lawyer working for you, because it can be difficult to get an agreement revised after the fact.
