Re: Separation Agreements
The process for a legal separation is the same as that for a divorce - same paperwork, same time frame, same cost, same division of assets, same award of alimony. The only difference between the two is that after a legal separation, neither of you can remarry. Also, either party can convert a separation into a full divorce at any time with or without the consent of the other party. So why would you want just a legal separation? You can call me to discuss. eight six zero two three three six three three six.
