About Legal Separation
If you want to start separation, also known as a Decree of Separate Support and Maintenance, and the process of living apart, talk to us at Kimberly Dunham. We will help you during this challenging period and ensure you know everything you need and what steps to take during this complicated legal process.
Depending on your unique circumstances, you may not be sure which legal ground applies to your case, or you and your spouse may disagree. We examine the specific details of your case and help you move the process forward as painlessly as possible.
You will also have to work through several other decisions with your spouse, including who gets custody of the children, how to divide property, and whether one spouse will support the other. If unresolved, these important life-changing decisions end up being made by the judge. That’s why Kimberly Dunham fights for you.
