The Divorce Process

What to Expect During Your Divorce in San Bernardino County

Every divorce case in Ontario and San Bernardino County follows a general legal process — but the details and timeline depend on your unique situation. Our attorneys guide you through every step.

1
File the Petition
Your attorney files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in San Bernardino Superior Court. Your spouse is then formally served with divorce papers.
2
Response and Disclosure
Your spouse has 30 days to respond. Both parties exchange financial disclosures — income, assets, debts, and property — to establish a complete financial picture.
3
Temporary Orders
If needed, we seek temporary court orders for child custody, child support, spousal support, and use of the family home while the divorce is pending.
4
Negotiation or Mediation
Most divorce issues are resolved through negotiation or mediation — avoiding a lengthy trial. We pursue the settlement that best protects your interests.
5
Trial (if needed)
If agreement cannot be reached, our formidable litigators take your case to trial in San Bernardino Superior Court and fight for the outcome you deserve.
6
Final Judgment
Once all issues are resolved, the court issues a Judgment of Dissolution. California's six-month waiting period must pass before the divorce is legally final.

Frequently Asked Questions

California Divorce Law — Questions Answered

Get clear answers to the most common divorce questions in Ontario, CA. For advice specific to your situation, call us for a free consultation.

California requires a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date your spouse is served before a divorce can be finalized. Most contested divorces in Ontario and San Bernardino County take one to three years when property, custody, or support issues are involved. At Haslam Perri Law Firm, we work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible through skilled negotiation and strategic litigation.

California is a community property state. This means that all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally between spouses. Separate property — assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance — typically remains with the original owner. High-asset divorces involving businesses, real estate, or investments require careful valuation and experienced legal strategy.

Spousal support, also called alimony, is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after separation or divorce. California courts consider factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, standard of living during the marriage, and contributions to the other spouse’s career. There is no fixed formula — an experienced attorney can advocate for a fair arrangement.

Yes. Many divorces are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative divorce — without a contested trial. At Haslam Perri Law Firm, we are skilled negotiators who prefer reaching favorable settlements outside the courtroom. However, when litigation is necessary to protect your rights, our attorneys are among the most formidable trial litigators in the Inland Empire.

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all issues — property division, support, and custody. A contested divorce involves disputes that require court intervention. Even in contested cases, experienced attorneys can often resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation before trial, saving you time, money, and emotional strain.

While not required by law, working with a board-certified family law specialist provides a significant advantage. The California State Bar certifies fewer than 1% of attorneys in this specialty. Donald Glen Haslam and the team at Haslam Perri Law Firm hold this distinction — meaning your divorce is handled by attorneys recognized for exceptional expertise by both peers and judges.
