You moved out on June 1. So June 1 must automatically be your date of separation, right? Not necessarily.
California looks at when there was a complete and final break in the marriage. That involves intention to end the marriage and actions consistent with that decision. Moving out can be relevant, but it is not necessarily the only fact considered. Why does one date matter so much?
Because the date of separation can affect property, debts, the length of the marriage, and spousal support considerations. If you already know what information needs to be reflected in your documents, A to Z Legal Services provides document preparation services from West Covina and Norwalk.
