LEGAL SEPARATION Although legal separation is possible in - TopicsExpress



          

LEGAL SEPARATION Although legal separation is possible in Kentucky, we do not generally recommend it. There are a few reasons for this. First and foremost, you will usually wind up divorced anyway. Additionally, one year after the signing of the separation agreement either party can turn it into a divorce simply by filing a motion with the court. Finally, legal separations require more work and legal expense than an actual divorce, so you are not going to save any money. There are certain instances when parties want to live apart and resolve all their issues regarding children, support, and property without actually getting divorce. Sometimes it is for religious reasons; sometimes it is something as simple as being able to stay on your spouse’s health insurance. Sometimes, people do not feel like they are ready for a divorce and want to have a “trial separation.” A separation is never a substitute for effective marriage counseling. If you want your marriage to work, get counseling and work at it. We will be happy to recommend some counselors. Your attorney is not a marriage counselor.
