Separation

When couples separate, but do not file for divorce, their marriage is in a sort of limbo. A lot can happen during this separation stage that may affect child custody, support, taxes, assets, and debts. A legal separation document can protect you and help establish your rights in any subsequent divorce.
Couples may also seek a legal separation for several purposes, such as:

• Religious reasons
• Continued insurance coverage of a spouse
• Trial separation with hopes of reconciliation
• Tax reasons
• Qualification for Social Security benefits

No matter what the reason is for your legal separation, our legal team can tailor an agreement that meets your objectives and protects your rights.

Why Separation
