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 experience with Ben Aranda far exceeded what I could have expected. I came to Ben fighting an uphill battle that had no end in sight.Although I was a train wreck with mostly negative thoughts about how I feared the outcome would be for … More my case, Ben was positive, enthusiastic, and always made me feel better. And then he worked miracles for me. My previous attorney dropped my case as it seemed a no win situation for the six months they represented me. Ben began turning things around in his first three weeks of representing me. Not only did he fight me out of the hole I was in but also leveled the playing field and in the end, I won. I got more than I ever expected.Ben Aranda is an amazing attorney and a great guy. I will forever be grateful and recommend him.

Ben guided me throughout a process that should have been intensely difficult, but it never crossed that line thanks to his service. Legal processes can be intimidating, but Ben made me feel taken care of from the beginning and he proved … More that he had my best interest in mind. He showed the utmost respect for my situation and provided helpful information and feedback for the decisions I had to make. Ben went above and beyond to help me and I cannot thank him enough for this!

I have had experience with several attorneys that made me think that their inefficiency and lack of motivation was "normal practice"in the field of law. However, I met with Ben for modification of child custody/support. Ben … More was like no other attorney I've ever spoke with and I knew I wanted him to represent me. He kept me updated, answered emails, phone calls and always discussed what the next step would be. I was blessed to have found the very best attorney in St. Louis; Ben Aranda. I refer him to anyone I know. Ben Aranda is "best of the best" of St. Louis attorneys, but his fees are very, very reasonable. If you need an attorney, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Call Aranda Law Firm.

Mr. Aranda is an outstanding attorney and a really great human being. If you are looking for someone to represent you that is true to their word, actually cares about you and your situation, and will FIGHT FOR YOU, Aranda Law is the right … More place for you! Mr. Aranda took my case when no one else would, helped me retrieve extremely valuable property that had been seized, and then stood by me to go after money I was owed, even though he knew it would be a very tough fight. I would not hesitate to recommend Aranda Law Firm to anyone who needs not only legal help, but needs to feel heard and understood as well.

We hired Ben for a contractor that screwed us out of thousands of dollars. We knew contracts are not Ben's main focus but we heard great things about him, both online and referrals. We took a shot and very happy we did. We recouped … More thousands the contractor stole from us, in cash! It wasn't everything but a very large portion. His fee was extremely fair and for this, we HIGHLY reccomend him!!
