Understanding Legal Separation vs. Divorce in California
Legal separation is different from divorce in a way that you cannot remarry unless you have filed a divorce petition in court and a divorce judgment has been entered.
Legal separation helps you determine the following:
The key difference is that an individual who is legally separated is still “married” and does not maintain the status of a single person. The legally separated spouses are not free to marry. Also, unlike divorce, legal separation takes effect immediately after it is ordered. If you are unable to divorce due to religious beliefs, cultural demands, or health insurance reasons, then legal separation might be something you should consider.
In California, both you and your spouse will need to consent to filing for legal separation. If this is not an option, you will have to go the divorce route. Legal separation is pursued through a filing process that is similar to that of divorce. If granted, the legal separation agreement is legally binding between you and your spouse. It will provide details regarding the division of assets, child support, visitation rights, alimony, and other legal issues.
