Re: legally seperated?
A legal separation is obtained by filing a petition and having a court approve the written separation agreement which sets out the rights of the parties. In most cases, a divorce petition is filed and the parties reach an agreement, which is approved by the Court, which will define their rights until the dissolution of the marriage. These are complex issues. For the best answer, consult a competent attorney and discuss your particular situation. Things such as legal separations are situations to solve particular legal problems. Without knowing the problem, an adequate answer cannot be given.
