You need to be aware of the mandatory disclosure requirements in the state of California and the imposition of new obligations and duties on the parties. The fiduciary duties found in family code section 721, 1100e, 2100, 2102, 2103, 2105, etc., are critical to understand. Your fiduciary duties started when you separated, not just when the divorce was filed. Breach of your fiduciary duty, which is the ultimate duty of good faith and fair dealing between husband and wife, could result in loss of property, loss of custody, fines, or contempt of court.
The court takes a hard look at fiduciary duty and breach of the automatic restraining orders, so you must understand these critical legal concepts.
