Pacific Palisades households tend to hold serious assets in quiet forms, such as a primary home worth eight figures, rental properties, trusts set up by parents, and portfolios managed for decades. Divorce here demands careful tracing of separate and community money, because family gifts and inheritances stay separate property only if the paper trail proves it.
Palisades clients want the matter handled thoroughly and without drama, and that is exactly how we work. Spodek Law Group P.C. is second-generation, family-run since 1976, and Chad Lewin brings 23+ years of California courtroom experience as our LA of-counsel. Everything begins with a free, risk-free consultation, in person or by video, on your schedule.
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.
