Legal Separation

Committed to excellence in resolving all matters related to divorce and custody for clients east and west of the river.

A legal separation allows a couple to divide their marital assets, and determine custody and support, without getting divorced. It addresses the same issues as divorce and will take approximately the same amount of time. One key difference between a legal separation and a divorce is that a spouse cannot remarry until there is a final divorce.

Contact the Law Offices of Deborah R. Eisenberg, LLC if you are interested in learning more about a legal separation.

A legal separation may be the appropriate solution for you if you are seeking to:

  • Preserve healthcare benefits for you or your spouse
  • Avoid religious conflicts associated with divorce
  • Prolong a separation period until you know that you are ready for a divorce

Many couples employ this legal tool as opposed to a divorce to maintain health care benefits. If you have been married for a long period and have been dependent financially or on the health care of your spouse, a legal separation allows you to continue to receive benefits.

If you subsequently decide that you want a formal divorce you can request the court to change your legal separation into a divorce, without the need to repeat the divorce process. As long as the court determines your legal separation agreement is still fair, no adjustments to financial arrangements will be necessary.

If you need assistance with a legal separation, contact the Law Offices of Deborah R. Eisenberg, LLC. We would be happy to meet with you regarding your case and provide you with an assessment.
