Some parents in California are in jail or prison and are subject to court orders to pay child support. If they do not receive modifications to their orders while they are incarcerated, they may be released facing substantial child support debt.
Settling divorces through mediation
Mediation is one of the tools California couples can use when they are facing the end of their marriage. The process provides a safe and non-aggressive way to resolve issues so that both parties are content with the settlement terms of the divorce. Estranged couples may consider undergoing mediation for a variety of reasons.
Information about child support in California
California child support can be a complicated topic. The amount paid is often calculated by using legal research software because the amount owed is governed by a complex set of guidelines. Factors such as the income of each parent, the number of children and how much time each parent spends with the children influence the amount owed.
Common money issues that end marriages
Some studies show that nearly half of all first marriages will end in divorce, and subsequent marriages have an higher likelihood of failure. One of the main causes of divorce is money problems, but California couples can discuss their financial situation and attitudes toward money ahead of time. This might help reduce the chance of conflict later.
Possible fate of Jolie and Pitt assets
There are various legal complications in high-asset divorces such as the one between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This is especially true when it comes to assets and asset division. California is a community property state, so the marital assets of the two actors will be subject to even division unless the two can come to their own arrangement.
Predictions about Pitt-Jolie divorce
The divorce filing involving Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has of course made news in California and around the country.

Since 2004, the two have earned over $555 million.
