The Benefits of Separation

Sometimes couples have serious disagreements that require relationship changes within the marriage. When a couple decides that living apart but not divorcing would be beneficial, then separation may be the best option. In this scenario, a couple remains technically married, but they do not share a household.

Keeping a marriage legally intact can be pivotal for a couple who may resolve their issues in the future. Also, marriage carries many financial ties that can be difficult to break before the couple is ready. To discuss the legalities surrounding separation and whether or not it is right for you, contact the experienced family law attorneys of the Law Office of Andrew A. Bestafka, Esq..

Reasons to Choose Separation

Separation is a viable option for couples not ready to get a divorce. Some reasons people choose separation over divorce are:

  • Personal space needed to sort out differences
  • Religious or social objection to divorce
  • Joint health care coverage
  • Financial ties that cannot be sorted out
  • Amicability remains in the relationship

Each separation situation is different and requires thorough discussions and agreements between the couple. If you and your spouse decide that separation is best for your relationship, an experienced separation attorney can guide you through the legal process.
