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. Everything you built, everything you relied on, suddenly uncertain.

And underneath it all, you may also experience grief—for the family you pictured and the time you can’t get back.

That’s why we’ve dedicated our practice to being more than just legal representatives.

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.

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

What if my spouse doesn’t want to get divorced or won’t sign the papers?
You can still move forward. In California, one spouse can file for divorce even if the other doesn’t agree.If they refuse to respond,the process may move forward by default, and the court can still issue orders.
What happens if my spouse is trying to get full custody?
Courts in California decide custody based on the best interests of the child. One parent’s preference isn’t enough. If custody is being challenged, we’ll help you build a plan that supports your relationship with your child and reflects your role as a parent.
Can I get support while the divorce is still in progress?
Yes. You may be eligible for temporary orders for spousal support, child support, custody, or use of property. These can provide structure and protection while your case is ongoing.
What if I already moved out? Can I still get custody?
Yes. Moving out doesn’t automatically affect your custody rights, but it can influence how the court sees your involvement. We can help you take the right steps to stay connected and present a strong case for custody.
What is the difference between mediation and litigation in divorce?
Mediation is a cooperative process where a neutral third party helps both spouses reach an agreement outside of court. It is typically faster, less expensive, and less confrontational.
Litigation, on the other hand, involves taking the case to court, where a judge makes final decisions on matters like asset division, child custody, and spousal support. Litigation is often more time-consuming and costly but may be necessary when spouses cannot agree.
Do you need a lawyer for mediation or litigation?
Technically, no, but here’s why you need one.
In mediation, the mediator must remain neutral and cannot offer legal advice. Having a lawyer on your side ensures that your rights, finances, and future aren’t overlooked or compromised in the process.
In litigation, the courtroom isn’t just about facts but also strategy, timing, and the ability to advocate effectively under pressure. A skilled attorney can make the difference between a fair resolution and a costly mistake.
How long does it take to finalize a divorce with the help of an attorney?
The timeline for finalizing a divorce depends on the complexity of the case. In California, there is a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date of filing, but cases involving significant assets, child custody disputes, or litigation can take longer.

Simple divorces may be resolved within 6-8 months, while more complex cases can take a year or more. An attorney can assess your situation and provide a clearer estimate based on your specific circumstances.

How much does a divorce cost in Los Angeles?

The cost of a divorce in Los Angeles varies based on factors such as attorney fees, court costs, and case complexity.
High-asset divorces, contested custody disputes, and the need for expert witnesses or forensic accountants can significantly increase expenses.

Cases with high conflict or prolonged litigation tend to be more costly, while uncontested divorces and mediation can reduce costs.
The duration of the process also plays a role, as longer cases typically incur higher legal fees. An attorney can assess your situation and provide a clearer estimate based on your specific circumstances.

Can a divorce attorney also help with child custody and support issues?
Yes, our divorce attorneys can provide assistance with child custody and support matters. Our attorneys specialize in family law and have experience handling cases related to child custody and child support. They can guide you through the legal process, advocate for your rights, and ensure that the best interests of your child are considered.
What qualities should a good divorce attorney possess?
A good divorce attorney should have strong communication skills to keep you informed and clearly explain your legal options. Experience in family law is essential, particularly in handling asset division, custody disputes, and high-stakes negotiations.

Strategic thinking and strong negotiation skills can help resolve disputes efficiently, while courtroom experience is critical if litigation becomes necessary. Additionally, an attorney should be empathetic and understanding, recognizing the emotional challenges of divorce while providing clear, objective guidance.
