Simply put, similar to a divorce, there is going to be a division of living conditions, finances, and child custody; dissimilar to a divorce, however, the marriage has not been legally dissolved. If the two of you\u00a0<em>do<\/em>\u00a0decide to get back together, this is a lot simpler process. It additionally means you may be able to benefit from some of the advantages of marriage while living separately, such as filing taxes jointly or staying on one partner\u2019s health insurance plan.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s essential to remember that when you file for legal separation, no matter what you agree upon can set precedent should you eventually decide to divorce down the road.

These requirements are the same for a legal separation and divorces. For learning about your state\u2019s residency requirements, verify your state\u2019s divorce laws. For instance, in California, married couples can\u00a0file for legal separation\u00a0when at least one of them resides in the state. Similarly, in cases of domestic partnerships, provided that the domestic partnership was registered in California, both parties may file for legal separation even when they don\u2019t live in the state.
