Provinziano & Associates handles divorce, domestic partnership dissolution, legal separation, annulments, and related issues for clients in Beverly Hills and throughout Southern California.
We Know This Is Bigger Than a Legal Process
The end of a marriage or domestic partnership is rarely just one decision. It can feel like grief, pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility all at once. You may be trying to hold yourself together while also thinking about home, finances, family, and the version of life that comes after all of this.
That is why this work cannot be treated like paperwork alone. Behind every filing is a person trying to make serious decisions in the middle of change.
The Provinziano & Associates team approaches that with care, perspective, and an understanding that what is being sorted out is not only a case, but a life in transition.
Ending One Chapter. Owning the Next.
Ending a marriage or domestic partnership can take different legal forms. Some people know exactly what they want to do next. Others are still working through the difference between one option and another.
Divorce: When You Choose To Have a Clean Break
Divorce, legally called dissolution of marriage in California, is the process of ending a marriage and resolving related issues.
Annulment: When Ending It Isn’t Enough, It Needs to Be Undone
In some situations, when legal grounds exist, a marriage may be treated as invalid, as if it never happened.
Legal Separation: When You Need Change Without Ending the Marriage
In other cases, living separately while remaining legally married better fits your personal, financial, or religious circumstances.
Domestic Partnership Dissolution: When You Need to End a Registered Partnership
Domestic partnership dissolution follows a similar legal process to divorce, but the facts, rights, and paperwork may differ slightly.

Let’s Plan Your Next Move
We turn what you’ve been managing on your own into a legal plan that’s structured, strategic, and built for where your life is headed.
The Issues That Often Follow
Choosing whether to dissolve a marriage or domestic partnership, pursue legal separation, or seek an annulment is often only the first decision. The next step is understanding the issues that may be part of that choice.
Marital Property Concerns
When your life is intertwined financially, separation raises hard questions.
What’s yours, what’s shared, and what needs to be untangled?
Homes, businesses, retirement accounts, some jointly held, others rightfully yours.
Luxury Asset Property Matters
Some divorces involve a higher level of financial complexity because of the type, value, or structure of the assets involved.
Luxury assets, trusts, investments, stock portfolios, real estate portfolios, and other substantial holdings.
Spousal Support Questions After Separation
Separation doesn’t erase the years you spent building a shared life—contributing financially, supporting a partner’s career or education, raising children, or setting aside your own goals.
Questions about amount, duration, and changes over time often follow from the facts of the relationship and the life built during it.
The Difference Between Knowing the Law and Knowing What Works
The law gives you the rules. Experience tells you how to use them. After thousands of divorce cases, we know how local judges and attorneys on the other side think.
We’ve learned when to press, when to settle, and what happens when people face this system without a plan.
That’s why we don’t just know the law, we know how to move through it effectively.

The Provinziano & Associates Difference
We Know How to Untangle Financial Lives
Divorce and separation can involve property, business interests, debts, support, and separate property claims. When needed, we work with forensic accountants, business valuators, tax specialists, appraisers, and other professionals to help protect your financial position.
We Protect Your Privacy During a Personal Transition
While some court records are public by law, we take careful steps to limit unnecessary exposure wherever the process allows. That can include how we communicate, how sensitive information is handled, whether private resolution options may be appropriate, and how financial, parenting, or business details are presented during the case.
We Help You Prepare for the Issues Divorce Can Trigger
We help clients anticipate and prepare for each stage of the process instead of reacting after problems escalate. This may include requesting temporary or emergency orders for child custody and child support, alimony, DVROs, and building strategies tailored to the evolving needs of your case.
We Don’t Just Hear You, We Speak Your Language
At Provinziano & Associates, we believe no one and nothing should be lost in translation. Our attorneys primarily work in English, but we offer support in French, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Farsi, and Russian. If you prefer to communicate in another language, not mentioned here, contact us, and we’ll confirm what’s available for your situation.
Trial-Ready Divorce Representation When Agreement Is Not Enough
Some divorce and separation matters resolve through negotiation, mediation, or settlement. Others require court intervention. When your outcome depends on going to trial, our divorce and separation team brings the kind of courtroom skill and strategic focus that comes from years of litigation experience, when negotiation alone isn’t enough.
