Legal Separation

Other possible alternatives to dissolution include Legal Separation or Annulment. Each has a specific purpose and legal outcome.

A Legal Separation greatly resembles an action for Dissolution of Marriage except that at the conclusion, the parties are not free to remarry. A legal separation action, unlike a dissolution, does not require residency requirements. A person does not have to obtain a "legal separation" before filing a divorce.

In order for you to make decisions regarding divorce, legal separation, or annulment, you must be well informed and have competent professional advise.
