There’s no rule saying you need a lawyer to get a divorce. But the vast majority of people find that meeting with a divorce attorney, even in a limited capacity, brings them peace of mind and helps them achieve their goals through this process.
Getting a divorce takes at least 6 months. There are four major parts of the process, and they are the same for couples who are married and for those getting a legal separation. Your specific timeline will depend on factors specific to your case.
Alimony is never automatically awarded to either spouse unless it was written into pre- or post-nuptial agreements that the couple legally agreed to.
However, a judge may decide to award alimony to be paid from one spouse to another. This is usually done when there’s a significant income difference between the two partners and one partner won’t be able to make enough money on their own.
Yes. California child custody orders are not set in stone, and oftentimes, a custody arrangement that worked well for a family when a child was a toddler may not work so well when he or she is about to enter their teen years.

I interviewed three other divorce attorneys before a friend recommended Los Angeles family law specialist Karen Brown. Every attorney I spoke with told me that I had a case, but Karen got the ball rolling immediately. She demonstrated her expertise in the area of family law, and I could tell that she was tough, and that’s what I wanted, as I was dealing with some irresponsibly ruthless people and needed somebody strong by my side. Karen was definitely that.
As a client of KB, I can attest to her professional and thorough advice given to me on a number of business-related matters. She has over 30 years of experience as a civil litigator, in various capacities in the entertainment industry and as a family law attorney. That wealth of knowledge was applied to my circumstances with integrity and real caring for my situation. I strongly recommend her to all in need. She is affordable and works with you in a cooperative and sensitive manner.
I hired Karen to help me with a last-minute serious custody issue for my 3 yr. old son. She was super efficient, professional, and very knowledgeable. She helped me to realize that there were certain aspects of my current order that needed to stop immediately and it helped me greatly. Karen is very kind, and supportive and really cares about her clients and the welfare of the children involved. I recommend her highly to anyone needing a family law attorney.
