Oftentimes potential clients come in and are interested in a �legal separation� rather than a divorce. It�s rare that a �legal separation� is recommended. Even though it does provide a Judgment separating all of your legal obligations, you remain technically married. So in the event you ever wanted a divorce, you would need to go through the entire process again, spending the same amount of time and money.
We do recommend and strongly consider �legal separation� in the event one party must remain on the medical insurance of another, whether due to age or pre-existing condition; or in the instance where the religious beliefs of the parties strongly discourage divorce. All aspects of the parties� positions must be carefully reviewed.
