Legal Separation

One of the problems some people have with divorce is its finality. Once you’ve filed for divorce, your marriage is over, permanently. It can be a shocking, unpleasant thing to think about, particularly if you’re not sure that ending the marriage is the best option. Sometimes divorce is the right answer, and sometimes it isn’t.

Legal separation is an arrangement that some people find helpful in lieu of a divorce. You’re probably familiar with a separation, in which a married couple lives apart from one another, similar in some regards to a divorce but without the legal finality. A legal separation is a more official form of separation, in which the married couple files a document with the government to formalize their separation. While the couple lives apart, a legal separation doesn’t close the door on reconciliation. While many couples do indeed go from a legal separation to divorce, others find that they can work out their problems and return to their marriage.

Some people file for legal separation as an alternative to divorce, based on religious or other moral objections to divorce. Others opt for a legal separation in order to experience life apart from their spouse without ending the marriage outright.
