The reason why there are so many divorce lawyers in Los Angeles is because so few marriages end amicably enough where the two divorcing parties manage to settle everything without the need for a court proceeding. Whether or not the divorce between Russell Brand and Katy Perry was indeed amicable or not isn’t entirely clear. What we do know is that the two parties have managed to complete settle their divorce in almost record time.

It wasn’t too long ago that Brand was quoted as saying that “he didn’t want anything from (Perry)” in their divorce. Even though Brand has a successful acting career, starring in such films as Get Him to the Greek and Arthur, it was pop princess Perry that was the primary bread winner in the marriage.

Because the duo did not have a prenuptial agreement, Brand would have had a legal right to claim half of the $20 million that Perry reportedly made over the course of their 14 month marriage. Brand could have also fought for the right to the $6.5 million mansion the pair purchased together. Brand said no thanks to both, essentially giving their marital home to Perry.

It is extremely rare to see divorces end this way, which is why it is vital that anyone involved in a divorce find the best California family law firm available to ensure that their financial best interests are taken care of. Even if your divorce seems to be amicable, there is almost always at least one or two issues that a couple disagrees on.
