Legal Separation
Many married couples that have marital problems may choose to get divorced. This may not be their only option though. Legal separation works much like a divorce, but it leaves open the possibility of reconciliation, and it allows spouses to continue enjoying the benefits of a marriage.
Legal separation still requires the legal assistance of an experienced attorney. If you and your spouse are considering a divorce, contact the Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 954-580-8080 to learn more about legal separation and whether or not it may be right for you.
How Legal Separation Works
Legal separation refers to a married couple that is legally recognized as being separated but not divorced. This has many benefits for some individuals. Among the benefits of legal separation are:
- The possibility of reconciliation
- Retaining the benefits of marriage
- Already being separated should the spouses choose to divorce
A legal separation requires a settlement that works much like a divorce settlement. This means that debts and assets are divided, and one spouse is granted custody of children. As such, obtaining a divorce is made much easier should the spouses decide to get divorced, as assets are already divided.
