Divorce and Legal Separation

A marriage, at its inception, is the bringing together of two people into one legal entity. When the members of a marriage no longer wish to live together, divorce or legal separation are considered in order to “split” that entity. Divorce and legal separation have similar effects in many ways. You live separately. Your finances are separated. Child custody, child support, division of marital assets and debts, and spousal support (called maintenance) can all be ordered by the Court. With so much at stake, it is important that you have qualified legal counsel to protect your rights before, during and after divorce and separation.

You will likely have a multitude of questions when considering divorce or legal separation, such as:

How long does it take to get divorced?
What if I can’t locate my spouse to get divorced?
Will I receive alimony?
How much of my retirement will my spouse receive?
Will my spouse have privilege to monies I received in an inheritance?
What if I believe the other parent isn’t fit to be raising our children?

The Aranda Law Firm can help answer these questions and more, and will help you navigate the ins and outs of all aspects of divorce or a legal separation. Working together, we can maximize your rights while minimizing the stress, strain and uncertainly of your family law issue.

My case was complicated and very unusual. Actually, I was afraid I would not be able to find anyone to take my case. I met with Ben and he accepted my case with confidence which was quite comforting. He took immediate action to have an … More unjustified withholding temporarily stopped. The final judgement was exactly what I had hoped for and I even had money returned to me by the state. Ben's billing was accurate and not exaggerated. I will recommend everyone I can to The Aranda Law Firm! It was much better in many ways than the highly advertised, local family law firm I previously retained!! Go Ben!!
