LEGAL SEPARATION
New Jersey (NJ) Legal Separation Attorneys
When you are deciding whether or not to file for divorce, legally separate or dissolve a domestic partnership, you need proper legal advice. In our experience, we have noticed that there is often considerable confusion as to the differences between legal separation and divorce. In fact, you may be wondering right now which is right for you.
Legal separation deals with all practical elements of divorce such as child custody, visitation, child support, asset distribution and other similar divorce related issues. Legal separation may be a viable solution for those clients who need some physical separation time but want to leave the door open for possible reconciliation of their relationship. A healthy break and opportunity to see a marriage counselor may be what you need, but it is important that you do not neglect the protection of your children and financial assets during that time. One thing to remember is that during a legal separation, your joint household income will now need to be stretched out to support two separate households.
