What Is Legal Separation?
A separation agreement is made between a married couple that chooses to live apart for a period of time. This document addresses issues such as child custody, parenting time, support payments and property distribution.
There are many reasons a person may seek a legal separation rather than a divorce. Some people are prohibited from filing for divorce due to religious beliefs. Others wish to maintain medical insurance coverage for or from a spouse. Regardless of your specific circumstances, a skilled attorney can explain your rights and ensure your separation agreement protects your interests.
Temporary Orders During Divorce
Divorce can be an overwhelming and emotional experience. When you have grown accustomed to having two incomes support one household, it can be easy to worry about how you will be able make ends meet on your own. If you have children to support, this financial stress is even greater.

These orders can address a number of temporary issues, including use of the house, spousal support, lawsuit money and immediate child custody.
