Legal Separation is Different Than a Divorce
The firm highly encourages clients to communicate and be involved in the process. This approach can ensure clients are fully informed, their concerns are fully addressed, and the marital separation agreement is satisfying. A marital separation agreement provides the same directives for the end of the relationship as does a marital settlement agreement. However, a divorce settlement allows both parties to remarry. A legal separation, although legally separating the parties, does not allow either to remarry.
Why Do People Choose Legal Separation?
Of course, married couples have various reasons for a legal separation. Some of these reasons can include:
The parties wish to separate their finances.
The parties wish to remain married for religious purposes.
One party is trying to set boundaries for another party. This can occur in situations of excessive financial problems, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse.
The parties are undecided about a divorce and are interested in a trial separation.
