Burbank divorce lawyers for the people who make the shows.

Burbank runs on the studios, and studio work runs on contracts, overtime, and seasons. When a Burbank marriage ends, we turn that complicated income into fair support and a clean division of property.

DIVORCE IN BURBANK · SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

The people who actually make television and film live in Burbank, including editors, animators, sound engineers, production coordinators, and the crews whose hours swing with every project. Their divorces involve union benefits, overtime-heavy pay stubs, and pension plans through the guilds, alongside the same custody and house questions every family faces when a marriage ends.

Spodek Law Group P.C. keeps this simple for you, with 24/7 availability and a fully online portal so case updates never depend on your call sheet. It is hard to know who to trust when you're looking online at your options, and our 1,100+ five-star Google reviews exist for exactly that moment.

California divorce runs on the same rules wherever you live: no-fault grounds, the 6-month residency requirement, community property division, and a waiting period of 6 months and 1 day from service before your marital status ends. What changes with your address is the courthouse, the judges, and the local procedures - and that is exactly what we handle for you. When you reach out, you start with a risk-free consultation, and you can ask us anything you want.

The cases we see in Burbank.

FROM THE FILE
01
Support from overtime and season-driven pay

A base rate tells you little about what a crew member earns across a busy year, and support orders based on one slow month shortchange somebody. We build income pictures from full-year records so the Family Code §4055 guideline runs on what you genuinely make.

02
Dividing union pensions and guild benefits

Entertainment unions run health plans and pension funds with their own division rules, and the community share earned during marriage must be split through orders each plan will actually accept. We handle those plan-specific requirements so your benefits get divided correctly the first time.

03
Trading the house near the studios

Burbank homes hold serious equity now, and a family that bought years ago has real money in play. We evaluate whether a buyout, a sale, or a deferred sale serves you best, and we make sure whoever keeps the house can genuinely afford to keep it.

FAQ

Questions we hear - ask us anything.

Which courthouse will my Burbank divorce be filed in?

01

Burbank divorces are typically filed at Van Nuys Courthouse East, 6230 Sylmar Ave, which serves this side of the Valley for family law. Because courthouse assignment generally tracks ZIP codes, we confirm the proper venue for your address before we file your case.

How is support calculated when my hours change constantly?

02

California's guideline formula in Family Code §4055 needs a monthly income figure, and for overtime-heavy studio work the courts typically look back across a year or more rather than a single pay period. Getting the right lookback matters in both directions, and we present the income history that reflects your real earning pattern.

We agree on everything. Is there a faster way to file?

03

Yes. Since January 1, 2026, California lets agreeing couples file a single FL-700 joint petition and pay one $435 fee between them instead of $435 each. You still need complete financial disclosures and a properly drafted judgment, and we handle both so a friendly divorce stays friendly all the way through.
