Separation

As a married couple, you may decide to separate but not immediately divorce for reasons such as not being married for more than a year, as required by law. In such a situation a judicial separation can be sought from the court. An order for separation will settle any dispute over joint assets such as property and ensure that your children’s rights are protected. Although you will remain married, such a separation means that you do not have to live with your partner or spouse. You will, however, need the help of a solicitor to complete legal documentation providing similar information as for a divorce. This would require the expertise of a family and divorce lawyer, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
