Legal Separation in California

General Information Re Legal Separation In California

Although California legal separation proceedings can be maintained on the same grounds as divorce actions, a judgment of legal separation does not terminate marital status of the parties as husband and wife. It is an alternative to dissolution and is generally sought upon breakdown of the marriage where for religious or other personal reasons the petitioner does not want the legal status relationship absolutely severed.
