Legal Separation
Legal Separation
If a couple is not yet ready for divorce, but wants to live separately and to be considered separately for purposes of finances, taxation and other legalities, they can le for a legal separation. In a legal separation, the parties are still married, versus a divorce where the marriage is ended. A legal separation is a court order that mandates the rights and duties of a couple while they are still married, but living apart. In a divorce, the spouses are no longer married. Legal separations are not too common, but can be helpful to a situation where
the spouses work through any personal or financial issues affecting the marriage.
In proceedings for legal separation, the court decides the following, much as it would in divorce proceedings:
for separation maintenance does influence what each spouse is awarded should they later continue to divorce proceedings.
- Child custody
- Child visitation
- Property division
