Is There an Alternative to Divorce?

For many people, legal separation can serve as an alternative to divorce. Essentially, it functions in the same way as divorce. However, there are a few distinct differences.

Before making any decisions, it is important to carefully consider your choices. At the Law Offices, our lawyers will take the time to get to know you. We will work with you to help you make the decisions that are right for you. We can help you determine whether to choose divorce or legal separation.

Why Choose Legal Separation Instead of Divorce?

That’s a good question. We frequently find that, after careful consideration, divorce is actually a better choice than legal separation. The important thing is that we offer the personal attention to help you arrive at that decision on your own.

One reason that people may choose legal separation instead of divorce is because they want to untangle their finances. Legal separation prevents one spouse from being held accountable for the other’s debts. While the marriage remains intact, the liabilities that come along with it are gone.

Others want to pursue legal separation as a first step toward divorce. This can be used as a trial period to make final decisions. However, it adds an additional step to the process if you and your spouse do choose to go through with a divorce.

Types of Affordable Divorce Options

At our family law firm, our clients get the benefit of affordable divorce options. Possible options include:

  • One: self-representation (pro se) – while it is cautioned that parties should still seek counsel, parties in a divorce can represent themselves
  • Two: pay-as-you-go – payments plans are set up for the future duration of litigation and the clients pay as they go
  • Three: partial representation – the attorney completes paperwork for the client at low costs and only litigates some issues
  • Four: limited scope – this is where the attorney represents the client in a limited scope capacity; the attorney will only go to court on certain issues such as child custody and visitation, spousal support/alimony or child support and the client is responsible for the rest
  • Five: uncontested divorce – for a low fixed fee, an attorney represents both clients through mediation and the case never has to go through the court system

We Keep Fees Reasonable:

We provide people with cost-effective divorce options as well as divorce mediation services at reasonable fees. One reason our fees are reasonable is that we do not add phone calls between you and us to your bill. From your initial consultation on, all calls are free.

How Is Child Support Determined?

One of the frequent questions that comes up during a divorce is, “Will I have to pay child support?” or “Will I get child support?”

At the Law Offices, we can provide you with an immediate answer to that question. Child support is based on a formula under the California Child Support Guidelines. That formula is based primarily on each spouse’s income and the physical custody arrangements. We know the formula, so we can provide you with a fast answer to your question.

Careful Handling of Child Support Is Required

Just because child support is determined by a formula doesn’t mean that this aspect of your case can simply be glossed over. That is definitely not the case.

A formula is only as good as the numbers entered into it. Our attorneys will take great care to see that the income amounts entered are correct. Unfortunately, divorce cases frequently become battles. Spouses may misreport their income in an attempt to pay less child support or receive more. We take great care to overcome these challenges in pursuit of a fair outcome.

Furthermore, if there is any reason to deviate from the formula to achieve a fair outcome, we will look for the opportunity to do so. There are a variety of reasons that the guidelines can be deviated from. We know why and we know how.

We Keep Fees Reasonable

Can experienced family law representation come at reasonable fees?

We believe it can. We keep our fees reasonable, partly because we do not add phone calls between you and us to your bill. From your initial consultation on, all calls are free.
