Do I Really Need an Attorney?
It's not impossible to navigate a divorce without an attorney, but it can be incredibly difficult. Here are some of the reasons why you should involve Gregory Thyberg Jr. in your case:
Avoid a Difficult Child Custody Order
If you have children with your spouse, their welfare is the top priority. Even if you have an amicable relationship with your spouse at the moment, that could change. Depending on the terms of your custody order, a change in this relationship could make things difficult for you and your children. Mr. Thyberg can help you arrive at a custody agreement built to serve your children's best interests no matter what becomes of your relationship with your ex, which can also help you avoid the need for further custody disputes.
Set Sustainable Terms from the Outset
Trying to navigate a divorce without legal expertise can result in costly mistakes. For example, failing to correctly file your petition could result in a loss of spousal support. It’s dangerous to try and handle your own divorce, especially if you have substantial assets or a contentious relationship with the other party. Fighting to change finalized terms of a divorce is no small task. Save yourself money, time, and stress by doing it right the first time.
Avoid Costly Mistakes during Property Division
Without a legal advocate, you could easily be taken advantage of during property division, or make a mistake that could result in serious legal repercussions. No matter how well you think you know your spouse, they could be hiding assets; meanwhile, if you fail to disclose certain assets, you could be charged with perjury, fraud, or both, which are punishable with jail time. Keep this process transparent and lawful with the help of Gregory Thyberg, Jr. in Sacramento.
Communicate Effectively with Judges
California is a no-fault divorce state, which is just one of many reasons why it pays to hire an attorney who can help keep communication between you and a judge objective and constructive. For example, if infidelity was a factor in your divorce, it may be earth-shattering to you, but it is irrelevant to a judge. Let Gregory Thyberg, Jr. in Sacramento communicate your position to the judge in order to get the outcome you and your children truly need.
Avoid Losing Credibility
California's courts are an incredibly busy system, and judges do not appreciate unnecessary action that wastes time. For example, although you may feel you need to file a restraining order in the moment, it's possible that this isn't actually necessary, and doing so could harm your credibility. Having an attorney to act as a sounding board when you feel the need to take action of any kind can be invaluable in keeping you in position for divorce terms that benefit you and your family for many years to come.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in Sacramento
Gregory Thyberg Jr. in Sacramento believes in keeping clients informed and answering all of their questions throughout a divorce or any other family law matter. While there is no substitute for an in-person consultation, he is glad to provide answers to these frequently asked questions so you can gain a basic frame of reference for what your divorce will involve.
If you are eligible to file for divorce in California (meaning you lived here for at least six months and in your current California county for at least three months), it starts with filing forms at your county courthouse and paying the filing fee. Next, you must have someone deliver divorce papers to your spouse. At that point, you can begin working through parenting agreements, property division, and other essential parts of your divorce, which must ultimately be approved by a judge.
Most people must pay a fee of $435-$450 when they file for divorce at the courthouse, although in some cases, that fee can be waived. Beyond that, you will pay your attorney a fee for their services. Gregory Thyberg, Jr. is an attorney who cares deeply about giving clients the best value for their dollar when it comes to legal representation, and he strives to help finalize his clients' divorces as efficiently as possible.
No. California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither party must prove wrongdoing. The divorce can be granted based on the fact that the couple is incompatible. While criminal activity on the part of one or both spouses (such as domestic violence) can influence the terms, actions such as infidelity cannot.
This can vary, but one thing is certain: it will take at least six months and one day from the date your spouse receives their divorce papers. California requires this waiting period, during which many couples begin working toward the finalization of their divorce terms. Gregory Thyberg, Jr. can help finalize your divorce as soon as possible.
