    The first step in the divorce process is filing the initial divorce petition. You can access the form by visiting courts.ca.gov. The Petition includes the date of marriage, date of separation, important information concerning property (community or separate) and debts, matters concerning minor children (this has custody and support), and information on spousal support.
    Whether you need a lawyer or not will depend on your circumstances. Some think that this initial step of filling out and submitting an initial divorce petition is something that anyone can do without legal assistance. And while that may be true for some people, there are also advantages of working with a divorce lawyer from the very start. First, your lawyer can guide you, so you don’t make any mistakes with the information you provide. Not only that, but your lawyer will also make sure that all succeeding steps (which will require even more paperwork) will be properly carried out.

We can define life through experiences and still can't find the exact word to say what life really is. Messy? Complicated? Roller coaster ride? Meaningless? or just not being dead? Philosophy suggests that there's an invisible bond that interconnects all the living. Most of us are still bugged about how life started and what's next after life. There is more to life that just merely exist. No one can figure out what exactly it is because no one knows the purpose behind this. All we can do is to live it to the fullest. It is too short; don't make it shorter.
