How to File for Divorce in Los Angeles

Filing for divorce in Los Angeles involves meeting California’s legal requirements and complying with Los Angeles County court procedures. One spouse begins the process by filing a petition and serving the other party with the required legal documents.

California law also imposes Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders (ATROs) at the start of most divorce cases, which are designed to preserve the marital estate and maintain stability during the proceedings. Understanding these early steps clearly helps clients avoid delays and unnecessary conflict, ensuring their cases progress efficiently and strategically.

What Happens After You File for Divorce

After the initial filing and service, both parties are required to exchange financial disclosures outlining income, expenses, assets, and debts. This stage is often one of the most time-consuming and critical parts of the divorce process.

Once disclosures are complete, spouses may begin negotiating issues such as custody, support, and property division. Some cases resolve through settlement or mediation, while others require court involvement to reach a final resolution. Experienced legal guidance during this phase ensures negotiations remain informed, organized, and aligned with your long-term interests and goals. We stand by our clients throughout this process to protect their rights and advocate for their best outcomes.

Los Angeles Family Courts We Regularly Work With

Divorce and family law cases in Los Angeles are handled through the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. The courthouse where a case is filed depends on residency and local court rules.

Our attorneys are familiar with procedures and expectations across multiple Los Angeles County courthouses, including:

Our deep local knowledge reduces delays and helps manage cases with efficiency and professionalism.
