Guest Posted February 21, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 21, 2020 In many states if a couple legally separates for one year, a divorce is nearly a formality. The court will just grant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted February 21, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 21, 2020 I think a separation separates the activities from that point on, but doesn't settle the past stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia So, therefore, separation is revocable; state laws may require "the joint application of the parties, accompanied with satisfactory evidence of their reconciliation ... by the court which rendered it, subject to such regulations and restrictions as the court thinks fit to impose." Depends on your state law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted February 21, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 21, 2020 I believe separation is the legal line where your finances begin to untangle. I don't think someone can take out credit after that date and have the other party liable. It is a period of time that changes a lot of definitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 21, 2020 Share #18 Posted February 21, 2020 My understanding is similar to DH's, although as donkpow stated, this is governed by local law so there are variations . But in general, I thought the separation is a legal way of filing something so that going forward a spouse isn't responsible for new debts of the other spouse. And new income can be separate property in an eventual divorce. But a separation doesn't divide up assets or liabilities existing at that date. Some states also require a legal separation before a divorce. But during the separation, other benefits of marriage may still apply (such as an ability to get insurance as a spouse). You need to check the benefit terms to see what the qualifications are. A filing makes it public so that a potential creditor could see that the spouse is "separated" which is why it needs to be undone to vacate the separation. But if anyone really wants to do this, they should talk to a lawyer licensed in their state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
