Re: previous legal separation
A separation agreement will typically state whether it is to remain in effect following a reconciliation. The agreement will commonly state that it is to remain effective until terminated in writing by the parties. I would suggest that you contact an attorney to review the agreement in your situation and advise you as to what your rights/responsibilities are thereunder.
