Legal Separation Attorney
Unlike a divorce, a legal separation does not mean the end of your marriage; it just means that you and your spouse decide to live separate lives while staying legally married.
El propósito de una separación legal es llegar a un acuerdo y/o una orden judicial, para cosas como la división de sus bienes, la custodia de los hijos, las visitas y la manutención. Esta orden judicial pretende proteger sus intereses hasta que se reconcilien, soliciten el divorcio o fallezca una de las partes.
A legal separation is not a required step in acquiring a divorce. Nevertheless, if the choice to divorce is made down the road a judge may determine that since you were satisfied with your legal separation agreement, the same agreement should carry over to the divorce settlement agreement. It is because of this you will want to talk to an experienced family law attorney.
Motivos para solicitar la separación legal:
- It allows partners time apart, away from the conflict of the marriage to decide if divorce is what they truly want.
- It might allow for the retention of medical benefits and various other benefits that divorce would bring to an end.
- If your religious beliefs conflict with the concept of divorce, you are able to live separately and keep your marital status.
- If you are a military spouse, you may want to remain married for 10 years so you can take advantage of the benefits established by the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act.
- Permanecer casado durante 10 años o más también significa poder beneficiarse de prestaciones particulares de la seguridad social para el cónyuge.
