DIVORCE IN LOS FELIZ · CENTRAL LOS ANGELES

Freelance income looks unstable on paper even when it has fed a family for years, and Los Feliz is full of designers, directors, writers, and studio artists who earn exactly that way. Add a bungalow in the hills that has quietly doubled in value, and a divorce here has more moving pieces than the paycheck-and-pension cases most firms are used to.

When you're looking online for a divorce lawyer, you have multiple options, and most of them will treat your case like every other file on their desk. Spodek Law Group P.C. owes loyalty to only YOU, our Wilshire Center office is ten minutes away, and phone and video consultations are available whenever your schedule allows.

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 Los Feliz.

FROM THE FILE
01
Proving what a freelancer really earns

Support calculations start with income, and a freelance career shows income through 1099s, deposits, and booking history rather than a tidy pay stub. We assemble that record so the guideline formula in Family Code §4055 runs on real earnings, whether you are the one paying or the one receiving.

02
The bungalow that doubled in value

A Los Feliz house purchased years ago is often the marriage's biggest asset, and its appreciation belongs to the community if it was bought with community money. We handle the appraisal, the interest calculations, and the buyout negotiations so one of you can stay without shortchanging the other.

03
Custody schedules for two irregular calendars

When neither parent works nine to five, a rigid alternating-week order fails everyone. We build parenting plans with flexibility written into them, and we prepare you for the free Family Court Services mediation session that LA County requires before any contested custody hearing can go forward.

FAQ

Questions we hear - ask us anything.

Which courthouse will my Los Feliz divorce be filed in?

01

Los Feliz divorces typically get filed at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, 111 N Hill St in downtown Los Angeles. Filing assignments generally follow ZIP codes rather than neighborhood lines, so we confirm the right venue for your exact address before submitting your petition to the court.

How does freelance income affect support?

02

California's support formulas need an income number, and for freelancers the courts usually look at earnings over a longer stretch, often two or three years of returns, rather than the last few months. Presenting that history well matters, because an inflated or lowballed figure gets baked into years of payments. We fight over the inputs, since the formula itself is fixed.

Do I have to go to mediation over custody?

03

In LA County, yes. Before a judge hears a contested custody dispute, parents must attend free mediation through Family Court Services. It is a genuine chance to settle the schedule without a courtroom fight, and we prepare you beforehand so you walk in knowing what to ask for and what to hold firm on.
