Irreconcilable: The Divorce Podcast | Episode 20: The Dos and Don'ts While Separated

Separation is one of the most confusing stages of divorce. You are technically still married, but living apart, and every decision you make can impact your case. In this episode, we break down the biggest mistakes people make during separation and the smart moves that can protect you legally and financially. We cover topics like dating before the divorce is final, moving out of the family home, posting on social media, making large purchases, and how all of it can affect custody and property division. We also talk about what California law says about the date of separation, why it matters for community property, and how courts look at your behavior during this period. Whether you just separated or have been in limbo for months, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and make decisions that actually work in your favor.
