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.

He's very easy to talk with and he personally kept in constant communication with me-I never had to speak with an assistant or secretary. His pricing was reasonable for an attorney and he didn't stop until we received the results … More I wanted with my custody case. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

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.

Ben is a amazing person. I met him in a bad point in my life when my original divorce attorney got disbarred. And literally met ben the day of my divorce trial. My divorce still ended up a diaster but I can honestly say it was no fault … More of bens. He actually had my back in several other cases through the next few years and did great and let me make affordable payment plans. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone in need of a great attorney......Thanks Ben

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!!

I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, you want Ben Aranda.Why do I say that?* He returned phone calls and emails (yes, really!).* He listened attentively until he knew what was important – and he efficiently culled the rest so … More I didn’t pay for wasted time.* He is brilliant – incredible with strategy, case law, and writing arguments if you ask me. Even when I was most frightened (and lawsuits ARE scary), he inspired confidence that I was in the best possible hands.* He’s direct, realistic, and meticulous – and he has a remarkable memory.* He kept me informed and focused throughout the process.* His prices are more than fair.* And oh-by-the-way: He’s a nice guy.Like I say, I hope you don’t ever need him, but if you do: Get first dibs.You don’t want him at the other team’s table.
