A legal separation is when a married couple decides to live apart but remain legally married.
During a legal separation, the couple will still have access to many benefits that come with marriage, such as health insurance and tax breaks.
However, there are also some benefits to a legal separation over a divorce.
Let’s take a look at a few of those benefits.
1) A legal separation can be less expensive than a divorce: When you get divorced, you must go through the court system, which can be expensive.
You can avoid those costs with a legal separation because you are still technically married.
2) A legal separation can be less emotionally charged than a divorce: Divorce can be very emotional, especially if children are involved.
You can avoid some of that emotion with a legal separation because you are still technically married.
3) A legal separation can help you decide if divorce is right for you: A legal separation gives you time to decide if you want to get divorced or if you want to try and work things out.
If you decide that divorce is right for you, you can go through with it after the legal separation.
