In many cases when a marriage is not working, the couple decides to get a legal separation and wait to file for divorce. Sometimes they can work out their problems and get back together. A legal separation does not terminate the marital status; however, the parties remain married in name only.
When a marriage is terminated by divorce, benefits are also terminated – i.e. medical insurance. A legal separation allows the parties to keep their medical insurance, child custody and visitation and community property rights intact.
