What to Expect From the Legal Separation Process
In a legal separation, a couple officially stays married but are able to live separate lives while maintaining some benefits. These agreements are flexible, as any party can change a separation to a divorce after providing notice to their spouse.
In a separation, a couple works through the same issues that accompany a divorce. Our lawyer will work with you to help create a property settlement agreement that fits your needs, as well as drafting child custody and parenting plan arrangements that are in the best interests of your children.
The Benefits of Legal Separation
There are a number of reasons people choose separation over divorce, including the following:
- Maintaining health benefits
- Protecting assets
- Religious beliefs against divorce
