Legal Separation and Divorce

If you and your spouse decided that your relationship was over, a legal separation could sometimes be a better option than divorce. A lot of couples are choosing to get legally separated rather than divorced for the following reasons:

  • As indicated in a spouse’s plan, healthcare coverage for the other spouse will continue with legal separation.
  • Their religious beliefs do not align with the concept of divorce.
  • Legal separation will allow couples to stay married until spouses can gain the military benefits provided under the Uniformed Service Former Spouse Protection Act.
  • Increased social security benefits and alimony can be accessed through legal separation as opposed to divorce.
  • Filing tax returns as married can give significant deductions.
  • Legal separation can give time to think for couples who aren’t sure whether to stay married or not.

Legal separation can’t be the solution to all troubled marriages. However, it can provide better benefits and protection for one or both spouses compared to divorce.

  • "He held my hand through my entire custody process."

    Mr. Emerson for lack of a better phrase held my hand through my entire custody process. I was very busy with other personal matters during the custody procedures, but my case never missed a beat due to Mr. Emersons diligence. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney in any of his areas of expertise. Mr. Emersons rates were also fantastic when I compared a few different lawyers.

    There’s no question Cody is a talented and dedicated lawyer. I hold him in high regard and will recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

    I feel lucky to have had Cody Emerson and his team on my side during my divorce. Cody is an outstanding attorney, highly respected by the judge and court.
