San Diego Separation Attorney
Legal separation is an option for spouses who do not want to terminate their marital status for religious, financial or other personal reasons. In California, the process for obtaining a legal separation is identical to a divorce proceeding. At its conclusion, the spouses are still married, yet they are able to live separate lives. All issues generally decided during a divorce — child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, etc. — also apply to separation proceedings.
