DIVORCE IN KOREATOWN · CENTRAL LOS ANGELES

Koreatown is the neighborhood our Los Angeles office calls home. The families around us are largely renters and small-business owners, couples running restaurants, markets, and shops on Western and Vermont while raising kids in apartments off Olympic. When a marriage here ends, what matters most is often a business one spouse built, the savings both worked for, and the children's schedule.

Spodek Law Group P.C. has its office at 611 S Catalina St #222, so you can sit down with us a few blocks from your own front door, or handle everything by phone and video through our fully online client portal if that is easier. California's community property rules apply the same whether you own a house or split a security deposit, and we make sure the division is actually equal.

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 Koreatown.

FROM THE FILE
01
Dividing the restaurant you both built

A market or restaurant opened during the marriage is community property under Family Code §760, even if only one name is on the lease. We value the business, including its goodwill, and structure a buyout so one spouse keeps operating while the other walks away with a fair share.

02
Divorcing when you rent instead of own

Plenty of Koreatown couples have no house to fight over, which does not make the case simple. Retirement accounts, savings, cars, and the lease itself still have to be sorted out, and support often becomes the biggest number in the judgment. We keep those pieces from being overlooked.

03
Support between two working parents

When both spouses work long hours, child support comes down to the guideline formula in Family Code §4055, which weighs each income and how much time the kids spend with each parent. We make sure the numbers going into that formula are honest, on both sides.

FAQ

Questions we hear - ask us anything.

Which courthouse will my Koreatown divorce be filed in?

01

Koreatown cases are typically filed at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse at 111 N Hill St downtown, roughly ten minutes from our Catalina Street office. The court assigns filings by ZIP code rather than neighborhood name, so we verify the correct courthouse before filing anything on your behalf.

How much does a Koreatown divorce cost?

02

The court charges a $435 filing fee for each side, and attorney fees depend on how much the two of you contest. If your spouse controls the money, Family Code §2030 lets the court order them to contribute to your attorney fees so you are not priced out of your own divorce. Your first consultation with us is free and risk-free.

Can my spouse and I file one petition together?

03

Yes. Since January 1, 2026, agreeing couples can use the FL-700 joint petition and file together for a single $435 fee instead of paying twice. It works well for couples who have already settled property and custody between themselves, and we can prepare the paperwork so nothing gets missed.
