Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Legal Separation

If a married couple is legally separated, is the couple still legally married? If a separated couple re-unites, do each have the same rights as a spouse as prior to the legal separation even if the legal separation is never reversed?

Re: Legal Separation

You are married until you obtain a judgment of divorce. The separation agreement sets forth your legal rights and obligations upon reconciliation.
