  1. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING TO DO WHEN SEPARATING?

  2. INTRODUCTION When planning to separate in California, there must be an orderly process of going about it while at the same time understanding the legal procedures. Separation can be rather emotionally and financially distressing, and the initial steps you take can greatly influence the outcome. In this ppt, we present the following guidelines on the initial stage of the things to do when separating in California, the need for preparation, consulting a lawyer, and the study of the procedure.

  3. CONSULT A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY IN SAN DIEGO The first and perhaps the most elementary counseling when separating is to consult an attorney specializing in family law. The completion of this step is mandatory for several reasons:

  4. LEGAL GUIDANCE STRATEGIC PLANNING An attorney provides one-on-one counseling where a person is informed on his/her rights and any repercussions of legal separation rather than divorce. It is about time that one seeks advice from a lawyer when attending to a case that pertains a legal separation, divorce, or drawing terms of settlement of a contract to ensure compliance with the client’s wish.

  5. DOCUMENTATION AND FILING FINANCIAL ADVICE An attorney ensures that all the documents for legal separation that are necessary in your case are well drafted and also timeously submitted in a manner that does not prejudice the case. Legal separation lawyers in San Diego play an important role in offering input on periodic payments and division of capital and other property concerning visitation rights of children, and financial matters, in the case of a divorce.

  6. UNDERSTAND LEGAL SEPARATION VS. DIVORCE It is also crucial for the intending litigants to appreciate the differences between legal separation and divorce. California legal marriage separation permits couples to live apart, while still being legally married, and make decisions concerning property, finances, and the children on one’s own. This option can be useful for those people who have personal, financial, or religious grounds not to get a divorce.

  7. CONCLUSION Starting with these steps provides a good foundation for negotiating the complications of separation. Each step guarantees that your rights are safeguarded and that the process follows California’s legal requirements.
