Re: legal separation
First there is no such thing as a "Legal Separation" in Pennsylvania.
To use two years separation as a grounds for divorce doesn't require that you have to wait that long to file for a divorce on separation grounds. That said you have to be separated two years to be able to get a divorce on those grounds.
Once a divorce has been filed you can then file for spousal support.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
