Dividing Community
Property and Debt
The easiest approach is to divide everything right down the middle. But is that fair? Some debts rightfully belong more to one of you then the other. And some community property means more to one of you then the other.

Dividing community property and debt is an excellent opportunity to learn how to cooperate with fairness and equitability as the cornerstones of a new relationship. It’s our responsibility to guide both of you towards a mutually satisfactory agreement. There will be instances when you are both trying to be fair, and still can’t agree.

We’ll take you through every rough spot, keeping it peaceful, keeping it simple, and getting it done.
Humble Connected Graceful
It takes the same attitude to maintain a healthy marriage, as it does to create a cooperative divorce

But divorce driven fear anger and betrayal stimulate pain

And when we hurt we become self-centered

And sometimes we make impulsive, rationalized decisions that we think protect the kids

But it’s often pain expressed as anger and control driving us

There’s an old saying:
Be as wise as a serpent
As gentle as a dove

The Sage Stones Peaceful Divorce Process is guided by that.
Spousal Support
Many factors are considered when determining how much spousal support should be paid and for how long.

There is a list of pertinent questions attached to Family Law on Spousal Support.

We’ll guide both of you patiently through these important questions and help you design a fair spousal support agreement.

Child Support
Child Support is governed by California Guidelines. and calculated using the Disso-Master computer program.

We use the same program. The primary factors to figure Child Support are: The number of children, each parent’s income, and their share of parenting time.

Child support should commence as soon as parents separate financially.

If the payor is reluctant, then the parent who has the kids most of the time, may have to file for a court hearing to get a Child Support Order. This can happen before the divorce and we can do it.

And we hope that it is the only hearing required before you and the other parent let us help create a Peaceful Divorce Plan!
Community
Property
Family Law Code: All property, real or personal, wherever situated, acquired by a married person during the marriage while domiciled in this state is community property.
Custody and Cooperative Parenting Plans
Wouldn’t it be ideal if the kids had uncomplicated, consistent access to both parents? And when they are at the other parent’s home, they are fed well and get their homework done. And when the kids came back from the other parent’s home, they arrive on time and they’re mellow… Let us lead, and we’ll take you there.

Often, difficult emotions get entangled between parents when trying to devise a custody agreement and cooperative parenting plan. Underneath these emotions are unmet needs that create mistrust, doubt and anger. It’s our responsibility to help parents identify and address these issues so that the impact they have on custody and cooperative parenting is healing in nature for both parents and in the best interests of the kids.

A durable Custody and Cooperative Parenting Agreement must address the kids’ current needs as well as a plan for how all future needs will be handled and shared between the parents. There’s more to it then child support. There are many: What Ifs? We’ll help you establish a comprehensive and complete agreement that’s in the best interests of the children, and we’ll provide ongoing resources to help both parents overcome any obstacles that get in the way of being excellent parents and co-parenting partners.
