LEGAL SEPARATION

Legal Separation in Fairfield, Hayward, and San Jose

Divorce and Legal Separation are similar. A married individual or domestic partner who wishes to remain married or in a domestic partnership but also wishes to settle all other matters, such as child custody, child and spousal support, and complex property split, may file for a legal separation. With a formal separation, the parties’ assets and obligations are divided, and you are no longer held legally liable for your spouse. A legal separation determines child support, visitation, and custody arrangements. A legal separation does not end your marriage to your partner. Any life or health insurance will remain in effect even after a legal separation. The legal separation will never take the place of a divorce or a dissolution of the marriage since if either spouse chose to later marry another person, they would have to apply for a divorce even though they had already been legally separated.
