Legal Separation: Legal separation is an alternative to marriage dissolution through the process of divorce. A legal separation can address issues of custody and visitation, support and the division of assets without affecting the status of marriage. A legal separation may be appropriate for couples who want to protect health care benefits, or if they do not want to divorce for religious reasons. It may also be beneficial for those who are not certain if they want to pursue a divorce. Contact us to learn more about your options and legal separation.
