Legal Separation

When a marriage or domestic partnership is breaking down, Stolar Law Group is focused on helping our clients find the most appropriate solution. There are a number of situations in which our lawyers might advise a client to consider legal separation rather than filing for divorce. Some couples choose to legally separate due to religious reasons or in hopes of future reconciliation. Legal separation may bring you and your spouse to a point where you can work out your differences. On the other hand, you may realize after a period of separation that your marriage is irretrievably broken and you are ready to file for divorce in California.

However, legal separation agreements do not cover the previously mentioned elements in the event of the death of one spouse. For that reason, our Beverly Hills legal separation attorneys may suggest that the legal separation later be redrafted as a petition for divorce. Our legal team can handle all of the details and required paperwork so that you can feel more at ease.
