Re: how to devide assets yet remain married

Hello, I have received a copy of your e-mail regarding dividing your assets. There are several ways to do that. You will probably end up with a post-nuptial agreement if you are staying together. If you are physically going to live apart you will probably have a separate maintenance order entered. Separate maintenance and a "legal separation" are usually considered the same thing. Feel free to call for further information if you desire. Domestic matters are an area of concentration for my firm. John C. Talpos (248) 743-6800 (http://www.Mich-Lawyer.com)
