A legal separation is very similar to a divorce or dissolution of marriage proceeding in California. For the most part the applicable law is the same, the forms are the same, the filing fees are the same, and the judicial officer who will preside over your case will be the same. The main differences are procedural and the effect of the judgment at the end of the proceeding.
Not all parents are married. Regardless, all parents can and should have the same rights and responsibilities concerning child custody, visitation, and support whether married or not. Therefore, for fathers pursuing custody and visitation rights, or mothers seeking child support, it is critical to establish the father's legal paternity of the child.
In California, both parents have a legal duty to provide financial support for their children. This obligation is the same whether the parents are married or not. The court may order either or both parents to make regular payments to cover a child's living and medical expenses. Payments such as these are referred to as child support.
What was once referred to as alimony in California is now referred to as spousal support. In a divorce or legal separation proceeding, the court may order one spouse to pay to the other spouse a certain amount of support each month to provide for the financial needs of the other spouse. Generally, spousal support awards are based on one spouse's need and the other's ability to pay.
