Our Orange County divorce lawyer, Amy M. Montes, understands how legal separation can provide an immediate solution, enabling you to obtain a divorce once you’ve reached your residency requirement. Legal separation does not end your marriage; it simply outlines how you would address property, custody and other issues in the event of a divorce.
