Temporary separation is a legal process that allows you and your spouse to live apart while you work through troubling issues and determine whether or not you feel like divorce would be the best course of action. During this time, you will still be legally married, but you will live apart and have separate finances.
There are several benefits to a temporary separation. First, it allows you to take a step back from the relationship, reflect, and evaluate whether or not you want to continue with the marriage. This time apart can help to reduce the stress and pressure that often accompany the decision to divorce.Secondly, temporary separation can also provide you with time to work through any issues you may be facing in the relationship. Whether you’re experiencing problems with communication, finances, or parenting, taking this time to work through these issues can help you arrive at a better understanding of your relationship and determine whether or not you want to move forward with a divorce.
