Understanding Marital Separation

Marital separation involves living apart from your spouse while remaining legally married. This period of separation can offer couples the opportunity to evaluate their relationship, address issues, and determine the best path forward for themselves and their families. While some couples ultimately reconcile, others may choose to proceed with divorce or dissolution.

Legal Separation vs. Trial Separation

Legal Separation: A legal separation involves formalizing the terms of separation through a legal agreement filed with the court. This agreement can address issues such as child custody, child support, spousal support, and the division of assets and debts. Legal separation allows couples to live separately while retaining certain benefits of marriage, such as healthcare coverage or tax benefits.

Trial Separation: A trial separation is an informal arrangement in which couples live apart temporarily to assess their relationship. Unlike a legal separation, a trial separation does not involve formal legal proceedings or court filings. During a trial separation, couples may seek counseling, work on communication, and evaluate whether reconciliation is possible.
