No one starts a marriage thinking it will end. But here you are, holding the weight of everything you built and everything you’re afraid to lose.

Divorce can feel like your entire life is being turned upside down—your family, your home, your role as a parent. Even your sense of self. And underneath it all, you may also experience grief for the family you pictured and the time you can’t get back.

With so much going on, making clear, rational choices in the midst of all this feels impossible.

That’s why we’ve dedicated our practice to being more than just legal representatives. We aim to help clients rebuild a sense of stability and control.

How Our Los Angeles Divorce Lawyers Can Help You

Whether you’ve been served, are in the middle of the divorce process, or are preparing to file, we’re here to guide you with a strategy built around your circumstances, your priorities, and the outcome you’re working toward.
From the first conversation, we focus on understanding what you need and what’s at stake for you.

What You’ll Have Support With Every Step of the Way:

From filing to final orders, negotiations, hearings, or curveballs in between, our work includes everything from resolving new divorce matters to enforcing or modifying existing agreements.

Whether you’re negotiating parenting time, dividing assets, or facing resistance from a co-parent, we’ll help you address what’s happening now and prepare for what’s next.

Here are some of the areas our divorce attorneys handle:

Every Divorce Is Different—So Is the Support You Need

Whether you’re the one who stayed home to raise the kids or the one who built the business (or something in between), divorce brings a different set of questions and risks for everyone involved.

We’ve helped clients on both sides build a strategy that fits their lives, not just their legal cases.

If You Stepped Back to Support the Family

Maybe you stepped back from work, raised the kids, ran the household, and made sacrifices that felt right at the time. Now, you may be wondering if those choices will be held against you.

You might not know exactly what you’re entitled to, and you’re likely thinking about financial stability, housing, custody, and how to hold on to the life you built.

We’re here to walk you through your rights and help you secure the support you need to regain control over your life and future.

If You Shouldered the Financial Load

Maybe you built a business, managed the finances, or supported the family in other ways that required long hours and tough choices. That doesn’t mean you care any less.

You might be worried about losing what you’ve worked for, protecting your privacy, or being treated fairly as a parent. We work with clients who’ve built complex financial lives, offering legal guidance that’s informed, discreet, and always tailored to what’s most important to them.

We represent individuals across diverse industries, including executives, public figures, entrepreneurs, professionals, public servants, consultants, the spouses who’ve supported them, and more.

Each client’s situation demands unique strategies and solutions, which is why we begin with a thorough assessment of your specific circumstances before developing a customized legal approach.

FAQs on Los Angeles Divorces

How do I start the divorce process in California?

To start the divorce process, file a Petition for Divorce at the courthouse in your county and serve your spouse with the paperwork. After that, both of you must share basic financial information. You can only file if you’ve lived in California for six months and in your county for at least three.


What is the process of divorce in California?

California’s divorce process includes filing legal documents, serving your spouse with divorce papers, and exchanging financial information. From there, you’ll work through decisions about children, property, and support. If both spouses can agree on everything—whether by talking it out, using lawyers, or mediation—the divorce can be finalized without going to trial. If not, a judge may decide some or all issues in court.


How long is the divorce process in Los Angeles?

The fastest a divorce can finalize in Los Angeles is six months, due to the mandatory waiting period. Most cases take longer, especially if there are disputes about custody, property, or support.


How much does it cost to get a divorce in California?

Expect to pay at least $435 in court filing fees. Legal fees vary widely. Uncontested divorces may cost a few thousand dollars, while contested cases involving property or custody can cost significantly more.


Who pays for legal fees in a divorce in Los Angeles?

Usually, each spouse pays their own lawyer. But if one party has significantly more resources, the court may order them to contribute to the other’s legal fees to ensure fairness in the process.


Do I get support while the divorce is ongoing?

Yes. California courts allow for temporary spousal and child support while the divorce is pending. These payments are based on financial need and may be ordered soon after filing.


What if my spouse doesn’t want to get divorced or won’t sign the papers?

You can still get divorced in California. One spouse’s refusal to participate or sign won’t stop the process. The court may proceed by default and issue orders without their input.
