Thinking about a split but not ready for divorce? Legal separation might be a smart alternative.
Unlike an informal breakup, a legal separation is a court-recognized status. It outlines child custody, spousal support, and how assets are divided—all while keeping you legally married. This option can help protect your finances, allow one spouse to stay on the other's health insurance, or align with religious beliefs.
The key difference? Divorce ends a marriage. Legal separation preserves it, which could make reconciliation easier—or offer a structured path if you do eventually divorce.
Talking to a family law attorney can help you explore which choice fits your situation best.
