What is legal separation?
Opting to legally separate allows each individual in a relationship to live apart from one another while remaining married. The time of the separation is officiated by the court and it does not allow for the remarriage of one partner to another person during the time spent apart. Neither party can or will be accused of desertion in cases of legal separation because the decision was reached mutually and legally sanctified. Speak with an Orange County divorce attorney about your unique circumstances and how legal separation may benefit the situation.

Why hire a divorce lawyer?
Involving a divorce lawyer in the decision to legally separate will allow you to understand and establish all processes and expectations involved. You cannot predict how having time apart from your partner may affect your family. Assistance from an attorney can help you rest more easily knowing that legal defense is always available to you, no matter what circumstances might arise.
Other issues that arise may require legal counsel, such as:
Alternative Methods to Resolving Differences
Are you trying to avoid the frustration and expenses of a court-litigated divorce? Legal separation is not the only option. Mediation and collaborative divorce are two alternative methods to a traditional divorce procedure. You can use mediation to resolve almost all marital agreements and negotiations, and making arrangements with a third-party mediator is less expensive and less troublesome than court litigation. Collaborative divorce allows you to avoid court while still retaining a legal professional to represent your interests in a negotiation.

My extensive experience in the field and complete devotion to the family law practice has allowed me the opportunity to legally advise people with all types of cases. There are virtually no situations in family law that I feel unequipped to handle.
