Legal Separation Attorney in Connecticut
Understanding Divorce and Legal Separation Laws in New York
Legal separation occurs when two people remain married, but live apart from one another. This may be due to the fact they do not wish to fully commit to a divorce or because of religious or moral purposes. Understanding the difference between divorce and legal separation can often times be confusing. Although they share many similarities, it is important not to confuse the two.
Key Similarities Between Divorce and Legal Separation:
- Paperwork must be filed whether you are getting a divorce or a legal separation;
- The court plays an important role;
- Both spouses live separately from one another; and
- Parenting plans, property division, child custody/support, alimony and so forth are established.
Key Differences Between Divorce and Legal Separation:
- Both parties are allowed to remarry when they get divorced;
- In a legal separation, both parties are still legally married and unable to marry anyone else;
- A legal separation is less permanent than a divorce and thus it can be reversed if both parties wish to try out their marriage again.
