Los Angeles Legal Separation Attorney Located in Pasadena, California
A legal separation is an identical proceeding to a divorce proceeding, except that at the end of the case, you remain married to the other spouse. The same issues found in a divorce are decided in a legal separation proceeding. Why, you might ask, would someone seek a legal separation as opposed to a divorce? Most commonly individuals seek a legal separation on religious grounds, to maintain a spouse’s health insurance coverage or simply to be able to file a case in California without having to meet California’s divorce residency requirements.
Legally separated spouses cannot remarry. However certain benefits of marriage may be retained because the parties technically remain married in the eyes of the law.
