Overview

Legal separation experts

What does it mean to mean to be legally separated?

Legal separation is a legal process that allows married couples to live apart without getting divorced or ending your civil partnership. If you get legally separated, you need either a deed of separation or a judicial separation.

What is the benefit of legal separation?

Legal separation can be an alternative to the formal process of divorce or ending your civil partnership. You might choose separation if: 

  • You have religious views which mean you can’t get divorced
  • You have been married for less than a year (you need to be married for at least a year to get divorced)
  • You’re not sure if you want to get divorced yet.
