Jewish Divorce Lawyer FAQs

In California, a legal separation is an alternative to a divorce. The main difference between the two is that when you are legally separated, you are still technically married, so you cannot marry anyone else.

There are many reasons that couples may choose legal separation over divorce, including:

• Your religious beliefs prohibit divorce
• Your personal beliefs or views rule out divorce
• You want to retain certain benefits (healthcare benefits, tax benefits, etc.) that would otherwise be terminated through a divorce
• You have not met the residency requirements to file a divorce but want to start court proceedings

Property division and child custody and visitation tend to be the most contentious aspects of a divorce.
