What is Legal Separation?
Legal separation is the agreement between two married individuals to live apart before getting a divorce. In many cases, couples are deciding to remain separated, rather than divorcing.
Divorce vs. Legal Separation
Divorce and legal separation have many similarities. Both processes involve a couple creating space between each other by living separately. Another similarity between the two are decrees by the court for child support, custody, assets, and spousal support are made. In summary, both create a division with custody and financial rules.
The critical difference between a divorce and a separation is when divorced are you no longer married, single, and free to remarry. When in a separation you are still legally married and must continue to fill out forms as such.
