Answer

When going through a split, individuals often find themselves at a crossroads, unsure whether to separate or proceed with a divorce. Legal separation serves as a middle ground for those who feel their marriage is over but are not yet ready to go ahead with divorce proceedings. Factors like uncertain feelings and religious convictions contribute to this decision.

Unlike divorce, legal separation doesn't terminate the marriage, instead, it allows parties to live separately while remaining legally married. Despite this, the issues following separation are similar to those in a divorce and can be addressed through a separation agreement. This agreement can cover asset and debt division, child custody arrangements, maintenance payments, and visitation schedules.

While divorce is often viewed as an administrative process, legal separation can be a strategic step, especially when faced with potential challenges in divorce proceedings. Separation agreements, though not legally binding, carry weight when properly drawn up.
