Many people have misconceptions about what constitutes a legal separation. Some believe that if they and their spouses are no longer living in the same house, they have legally separated. This is not the case. A legal separation is an actual judgment from the state of California.
At Brave, Weber & Mack, APLC, we educate our clients on what legal separations can and cannot do, advise them about whether it is in their better interests to legally separate or divorce, and assist them with all aspects of the legal process. Located in Solana Beach, we represent individuals and families throughout San Diego County and the neighboring areas of California.
Is a Legal Separation Right for You?
Going through a legal separation is very similar to going through a divorce, and the same issues regarding child custody, child support and property division must be addressed. The greatest difference is that at the end of the day, you are still technically married. Due to religious beliefs or other reasons, some people prefer to part ways with their spouses while still remaining married on paper.
Before you decide a legal separation is right for you, however, you should consider whether this kind of legal judgment will get you the results you really want. You should also be aware that certain insurance plans may not afford you the same rights as they would if you were divorced.
