Legally separated means that you will live under a separation agreement for one year. A separation agreement is negotiated between the parties with or without the assistance of an attorney, but I recommend using at least one attorney to make sure of the legalities. This agreement can be converted into a divorce after one year.
If you have any further questions or assistance, you can contact me at 516-746-4747 or [email protected].
