Separation Questions & Advice
A legal separation is defined as “a legal process by which a married couple may formalise a de facto separation whilst remaining legally married. A couple may obtain a legal separation, as an alternative to divorce, based on moral or religious objections to divorce”. In other words, the couple may separate to live apart from one another. A legal separation is not a divorce, and as such a couple with a legal separation agreement are in fact still married. Some issues which may be addressed in a separation agreement include marital property division, child custody and support, visitation rights and schedules, spousal support, and alimony. For example, “What are the differences between legal separation and divorce?” or “What should I expect in a legal separation process?” There are many of the commonly asked questions with resourceful answers here which may help you.
