A legal separation is quite similar to a divorce, but the couple remains legally married. There are many reasons why a couple may want a legal separation rather than a divorce such as religious, health insurance and financial benefits.
If you are seeking a legal separation, procure the services of a skilled attorney who can help you reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Call the Law Office of James A. Jackson at 760-340-4545 to learn more.
The Elements Of A Legal Separation

- Spousal support
