Divorce and Legal Separation Lawyer in San Jose, California
Legal separation is an alternative to divorce for couples choosing to stay legally married, but separated. A legal separation is legally binding. It is similar to divorce — it will include a property division, spousal support, child custody and visitation plan, child support and debt division — but it will not officially dissolve your marriage. Couples choose to remain married but legally separated for a number of reasons:
- Religious: My religious beliefs are in deep conflict with divorce.
- Financial: I do not want to lose my spouse's group insurance coverage.
- Not wanting to sever ties: I am not ready to divorce legally but do not want to remain liable for my spouse's debts.
