What if for religious or other reasons a couple does not have the option of ending the marriage but still wants a divorce?
Couples can choose legal separation as a solution to remain legally married and at the same time achieve a formal end to their financial and emotional intimacy. Agreement must be reached on the same issues as in a divorce. These issues include division of property and debt, spousal support, and if there are children, child support and a parenting plan. DMG can help couples who choose a legal separation achieve agreement on all these issues.
