A legal separation is a formal and legally binding agreement that divides debt, assets, and property between spouses; it will also address the issues of support and custody. Creating a separation agreement is similar to getting divorced, with the main difference being after a legal separation is finalized, you are still married.

“During Legal Separation, Are You Responsible For Your Spouse’s Debt?”

Marriage means intertwining two lives. When a marriage ends, divorce is the process of untangling them. Part of that means dividing up any shared assets you amass together. Another unfortunate part is splitting up any shared debt. That can be a big financial blow. But what happens if you live …

I needed help with a divorce and Zephyr was generous with his time, quick to respond to calls and messages and very informative. I found Goldberg-Jones to have excellent professional and personal integrity.

I have been working with Cristina Nuño during a very difficult divorce process. Although my case is still in the process, I have been very happy with Cristina and the team at Goldberg Jones. Cristina is a true professional, all business, and is very knowledgeable. Thanks, Cristina, for your support!

Alexis Scott was great at assisting me win custody of my son. She was able to outline, format, and structure all of my documentation and evidence in such a way the judge didn't have any questions for us. She was a wealth of information when it came to any of my questions.

I contacted Goldberg Jones because of a recommendation from a friend. I had several options but I am really happy that I chose this firm. The reception (Koulen) was always top notch and the initial consultation was thorough, precise and my initial deposit was applied to my case.They assigned me a great attorney named Joe Waters and he had a fair and strategic mind that was easy for me to understand and deal with. He always gave me a fair assessment of the situation and what the possibilities were. In addition, and I know this might be hard to believe, but he didn't seem to want to make it any more expensive for me and he found ways to alleviate the costs.In the end, I was happy with the settlement and Joe always remained informative and calm. I would highly recommend this firm to any men who need help with their divorce etc. It feels nice to have a team that understands what a tough situation one might be in dealing with etc.

I had a matter that needed immediate attention due to a time constraint. Alexis Scott reviewed my documents within an hour of receiving them and had extremely helpful insight and feedback. Highly recommend this firm.

Good thing is no divorce was needed but, Alexis Scott is the most understanding, patient, and supportive individual during this process. I was put at ease by her knowledge and even shared her own personal experiences, which was comforting. I would highly recommend this firm. If there are any other family court related issues I need representation on, I’ll be going to Goldberg Jones again (God willing, not for divorce 😁).

Cristina Nuno and later Phil Coleman did an outstanding job with my challenging divorce. Always promptly receptive, providing sound advice, and working well with opposing counsel to bring resolution. I highly recommend them.

I have chosen Phil Coleman as my attorney and couldn't be more happy with the services he has provided. I have had many questions, calls, and emails to him and he responds very quickly. I have been with Phil for a little over 2 years now, and he has gotten me more than I could have ever asked for. Phil is a straight shooter and tells you how it is weather its good or bad. I highly recommend Phil to any man going through divorce.

We feel fortunate to have been able to retain Goldberg Jones in a time crunch during a legal crisis. Mr. Fewel has done a great job for us! We would recommend them to anyone going through a divorce or family law issue. Their service has given us peace of mind and has been absolutely worth it!

I worked with James Garland and the experience was great. I had filed the majority of the paperwork myself. I needed assistance in drafting the agreement and submitting the final paperwork. It was well worth it because I was divorced two months after I hired the firm.

I reached out to Golberg/Jones to assist with a revision to a spousal support order due to pending retirement. Attorney Melissa Borja did an outstanding job getting the agreement together, signed and finalized in record time. She kept me advised throughout and was a pleasure to work with. While the process may seem intimidating, Melissa was always cheerful, encouraging, and thoroughly professional. She is a great asset to the firm and would be a great advocate for any client. Thanks Melissa for all your help!

I had the pleasure of working with Goldberg Jones law firm regarding my divorce over the span of two years. I initially had a very thorough and transparent consultation with Mr. Zephyr Hill and Mr. Todd Hipper was initially assigned to my case. His persistence and kind-hearted soul put my mind at ease for my divorce and always came up with different options and alternatives to make the opposing party speechless. Then Siobhan Curley came on board and finished off my case with all the financial-related matters and other questions I had in the most professional manner and way possible. She was very responsive, kind and always willing to go above and beyond. More importantly, she always was willing to listen FIRST to what I had to say which definitely showed that she put her clients ahead of everything. If any future custody-related issues come up, I will definitely contact them again. Please seek Goldberg Jones for any family-related issues!

I want to thank Siobhan Curley for helping me settle an issue literally over night. She stepped in when I needed support and walked me through the steps I needed to take to remedy an issue. She was kind, clear, and very knowledgeable about the law. After we met, I completed the steps she told me to take and the issue was resolved the very next morning! I can't thank her enough. She is such an intelligent and supportive human being. Immediately after we spoke, I felt calmer and more in control of the situation. Please reach out to her if you need legal advice, she is incredible!
