离婚从来不是一个简单的决定。这个过程包含错综复杂的法律程序,很容易让人情绪低落。如果您正面临离婚或任何其他相关的家庭法问题,也许是时候考虑聘请亨廷顿海滩离婚律师了。.
The legal professionals at Quinn & Dworakowski, LLP, have the education and experience to take on the burdens their clients would otherwise carry alone. Both founding partners, Stephane Quinn and David Dworakowski, are Certified Family Law Specialists through the State Bar of California’s Board of Legal Specialization, a credential held by fewer than 1% of California attorneys.
California is a “no-fault” divorce state, so neither spouse has to prove the other did something wrong to end the marriage.
Before filing, one spouse must have lived in California for at least six months and in the county where the case is filed for at least three months (Family Code § 2320). Once the other spouse is served, state law requires a mandatory six-month waiting period before a judge can finalize the divorce, even when both sides agree on every term (《家庭法典》第2339条).
As of January 1, 2026, spouses who already agree on custody, support, and property division have a new option: filing a single joint petition together under Senate Bill 1427, rather than one spouse filing and the other responding. This can simplify the early steps of an amicable case.
A divorce lawyer protects your rights during divorce, including essential issues like property division, spousal support, and child custody.

Both founding attorneys hold Certified Family Law Specialist designations from the California Board of Legal Specialization, and David Dworakowski also holds a Certified Appellate Specialist certification, a combination held by very few Orange County firms.
Whether you live in Huntington Harbour, Golden West, Downtown Huntington Beach, or elsewhere in the area, local factors can shape your case.
The average home value in Huntington Beach is over $1 million as of June 2026 (Source: Zillow), and property division disputes often center on who keeps the family home or how its equity should be divided.
Custody disagreements are also common. Parents may disagree about parenting time, decision-making, and how responsibilities should be shared, and an attorney familiar with Orange County family courts can help resolve these disputes efficiently.
Rates typically run $250 to $500 per hour, depending on the attorney’s experience and reputation, though some firms use a retainer instead of an hourly fee. Talk to a lawyer during about fees during your first meeting so you know what to expect.
Look at their years of family law experience, client reviews, and any board certifications, such as Certified Family Law Specialist. Ask how many similar cases they have handled during your consultation.
California divides community property equally, but that does not always mean every asset is split down the middle. Personal property, such as assets owned before the marriage, generally are not included.
California law does not favor either spouse. A wife receives an equitable share of community property, just like her partner, and may also receive spousal support if she earns significantly less.
Yes, as of January 1, 2026, you can file together. If you already agree on custody, support, and property division, California now allows spouses to file a joint petition instead of one spouse filing against the other.
