San Fernando & Santa Clarita Valley Legal Separation Attorneys

Representing Clients in Westlake Village, Burbank and Encino, CA

A legal separation is similar to a divorce in that an agreement will be worked out regarding the division of property, child custody, visitation, spousal support and child support. However, the two parties will remain legally married. A legal separation is often sought in situations where for religious reasons or other personal reasons the couple wishes to keep the legal status of the marriage in place. Other reasons might include maintaining medical insurance for a spouse. In the military, under the 20/20/20 rule, a spouse might have lifetime medical if the marriage is maintained for twenty years.
