Los Angeles Separation Attorney
Providing Legal Separation Agreement Negotiation & Litigation Services in Los Angeles
In some cases, a legal separation may suit the parties’ religious, practical, or emotional needs better than a divorce. In California, a legal separation does not end a couple’s marital status; however, a legal separation allows a couple who wants to live separate and apart decide on financial, parenting, and other issues.
Our Los Angeles legal separation team assists with:
- Child Support Arrangements
- Determining Spousal Support
- Asset & Debt Division
- Restraining Orders for Domestic Violence
- Child Custody & Visitation Plans
- LGBT Parentage & Custody Issues

Choosing Legal Separation Over Divorce in Los Angeles
Reasons couples opt for legal separation include:
- To allow the couple more time to decide if they wish to end their marriage. If a couple decides to reconcile after a divorce, they will likely have spent unnecessarily on court and attorney fees;
- To preserve tax, insurance, military, and/or other benefits;
- To provide independent lives to couples who are religiously opposed to divorce;
- To decide on financial, parenting, and other issues before the couple meets the six-month California and county residency requirement.
California is one of many states that offer couples the option to file for a legal separation instead of a divorce when they no longer wish to continue their legal union. A legal separation is sometimes preferred for practical, religious, or moral reasons.
