California breach-of-contract claims require valid contract + breach + damages — but most cases turn on what damages can be proved, not whether breach occurred.

ADA + Disability Accommodation in California
California disabled employees are protected by the federal ADA (15+ employees) + state law — employers must engage in interactive process + provide reasonable accommodations unless undue hardship.
Age Discrimination in California
California workers age 40+ are protected by the federal ADEA + state law from age discrimination — but the Supreme Court's Gross v. FBL standard requires "but-for" causation, making cases harder than other discrimination claims.

California asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in California
California blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.

California adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. 30-day revocation window for independent adoptions; agency consents are generally final.
Spousal Support in California: How It Works
California calls it spousal support. For marriages UNDER 10 years: support typically lasts about HALF the length of the marriage.

Copyright is purely federal — registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, enforced through federal district courts. California infringement cases are filed in U.S. District Courts for the Northern.

California amusement park / ride / water park injuries can lead to negligence, premises liability, and product-liability claims — but liability waivers and federal CPSC reporting create complications.
