Separations and divorces are never easy to deal with. People’s emotions are involved, with one or more of the parties suffering severe trauma, children are hurt in the process, and money, possessions, and property are often at the centre of the process.

No two cases are ever the same; therefore you must understand your rights and responsibilities when your marriage, or your cohabitation arrangement, has reached a point where couples no longer find it an option to live under the same roof. There are different ways out.

If partners are not married and want to end their relationship, they may simply leave the arrangement and move on, amicably. But, just as it is in the case of a marriage that is breaking up, simply taking your possessions and walking away, is not easy – much is at stake for one or both of the parties.

Of course, the same is true for marriage. When it comes to married couples, it is good to understand the difference between a separation and a divorce. When a married couple decides to go their separate ways, there are different options. For many – even most – the answer is a divorce. ...
... For others, the option exists to opt for either a legal/judicial separation or a separation agreement.

When looking at the main differences between a divorce and legal separation, it should be clear that divorce is the final termination of the marriage, which separation is not. When the parties decide on separation as their best option, they may decide to live apart, or each in their own space on the same property – if that is at all feasible.

An important consideration will always be the financial arrangement, whether you opt for a divorce or separation. In a separation, you may have to decide who pays the rent, or the mortgage, you must decide who remains in the family home or jointly owned property, and who leaves – with further financial implications about rent, for example, for the party that leaves the home. Decisions must be made about joint debts, children, and childcare arrangements.

Divorces are, on the other hand, even more, complicated. But they bring finality to a chapter and allow both parties to move on and make a new life without the person they divorce. Regardless of the way a couple decides to go – either a legal/judicial separation or divorce – they will need to approach a good divorce lawyer or solicitor.

If you live in, say, the UK, it is important to contact a firm known for being experienced divorce lawyers, a firm that receives good reports and positive feedback from past clients, and better still, if they are recognised by their peers and the wider judicial fraternity.

Divorces involve so much – a couple’s whole life, as it were. There are often great disagreements about children and visitation rights, spousal maintenance and maintenance for every child, not only monthly contributions but also their medical needs, school fees – and later college or university.

Without the assistance of a good divorce lawyer or solicitor, you may start your new life at a great disadvantage. An experienced solicitor can help. Some of the best of these professionals work at, or are partners at, leading law firms in the country. They can advise you about your position, and they can try and find the best solution for your circumstances and expectations.

They can assist you with all matters related to domestic abuse and molestation, harassment, and related matters before and during the divorce; they are the ones to make sure you get the best service and an arrangement to ensure that you are ready for the next phase of your life. This applies to both legal separation and divorce.
