Tech and media companies fill the office space from the beach to 26th Street, and the people who work there get paid in salary, RSUs, options, and bonuses tied to vesting schedules. When a Santa Monica marriage ends, the hardest question is usually how to divide compensation that was granted during the marriage but pays out long after the separation date.
We handle those questions constantly. Chad Lewin, our LA of-counsel, brings 23+ years in California courtrooms, and the firm behind him has been family-run since 1976. Consultations happen by phone or video through our online portal, or in person if you prefer, and the first one is free and completely risk-free.
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.
