Fighting out a divorce in court can cause great emotional and financial strain for both sides. It can be a long, expensive process that damages everyone, including children.

A legal separation allows divorce to be handled in a more cooperative and affordable way.

The Mandated Waiting Period

Couples seeking a divorce in our state are required to live separately for a year. While you may be required to go through this waiting period, there is nothing stopping you from putting together a separation agreement that covers important family law issues such as child custody and visitation, child support, property division and alimony.

By reaching a separation agreement, you can avoid the financial and emotional costs that come with a contested divorce. Once the documents are filed and the waiting period is over, your divorce will be considered uncontested, and your separation agreement essentially becomes your divorce decree.
