Legal Separation vs. Divorce
So why would one choose to be legally separated and not divorced? This is a good question. Some legitimate reasons might include:
- You and your spouse may oppose divorce for religious reasons
- One spouse may be eligible for his or her spouse’s government benefits (i.e. Social Security) or health care and insurance benefits.
- Potential Tax Benefits
- You and your spouse think that there still may be a chance to reconcile after spending some time away from each other.
The divorce process can be long and difficult—especially without the right legal representation. As emotions run high, even simple decisions can seem impossible and divorcing couples often find it difficult to reach amicable agreements regarding the distribution of their assets and the custody and care of their children. During this tumultuous time, an experienced San Diego divorce attorney is essential to protecting your rights, your assets, and your family.

Shana Black is absolutely amazing. She has helped me so much with getting custody of my daughter and my divorce. She is very understanding and knows, very much, what she is doing. I know that it is very hard for a father to get custody of their child but if you need help doing that or need help with your divorce, she is definitely the person to talk to. She helped me get custody of my daughter and keep all my possessions from my divorce. She truly is a saint and I would definitely recommend and refer her to anyone that is going through a family court case. Shana Black truly is a saint. ~ Keith S.
