Divorce and Legal Separation

A marriage, at its inception, is the bringing together of two people into one legal entity. When the members of a marriage no longer wish to live together, divorce or legal separation are considered in order to “split” that entity. Divorce and legal separation have similar effects in many ways. You live separately. Your finances are separated. Child custody, child support, division of marital assets and debts, and spousal support (called maintenance) can all be ordered by the Court. With so much at stake, it is important that you have qualified legal counsel to protect your rights before, during and after divorce and separation.

You will likely have a multitude of questions when considering divorce or legal separation, such as:

How long does it take to get divorced?
What if I can’t locate my spouse to get divorced?
Will I receive alimony?
How much of my retirement will my spouse receive?
Will my spouse have privilege to monies I received in an inheritance?
What if I believe the other parent isn’t fit to be raising our children?

The Aranda Law Firm can help answer these questions and more, and will help you navigate the ins and outs of all aspects of divorce or a legal separation. Working together, we can maximize your rights while minimizing the stress, strain and uncertainly of your family law issue.

I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, you want Ben Aranda.Why do I say that?* He returned phone calls and emails (yes, really!).* He listened attentively until he knew what was important – and he efficiently culled the rest so … More I didn’t pay for wasted time.* He is brilliant – incredible with strategy, case law, and writing arguments if you ask me. Even when I was most frightened (and lawsuits ARE scary), he inspired confidence that I was in the best possible hands.* He’s direct, realistic, and meticulous – and he has a remarkable memory.* He kept me informed and focused throughout the process.* His prices are more than fair.* And oh-by-the-way: He’s a nice guy.Like I say, I hope you don’t ever need him, but if you do: Get first dibs.You don’t want him at the other team’s table.

I, too, hired Mr. Aranda after my previous attorney failed to adequately advocate for me in my divorce. Immediately, Ben put me at ease and let me know there was no need to worry about the "malicious tactics" of the opposing counsel … More (and my soon to be ex-wife). Divorce is hard enough, and I'm so thankful to have Ben representing me so I can be a responsible father and get on with my life. Ben keeps it real, and he fights hard for his clients. He deserves to be recognized with the highest jurisprudence commendation for his diligence. If you are in need of a superb divorce lawyer, he's your guy! God bless you Mr. Aranda!
