What is the difference between getting a Legal Separation as opposed to a Divorce?
The grounds to obtain a Legal Separation are the same as a Divorce. The primary difference between a legal separation and a divorce is that while they both resolve property, debts, custody, support, visitation, and other marital issues, you are still legally married to your spouse at the end of the process. One of the common reasons to request a Legal Separation is to maintain insurance coverage for a spouse.
