Legal Separation And Divorce, The Huge Difference

By David Vleestra


These days, divorce cases are much common. It has become a pop culture. While others consider marriage as a sacred union of a man and woman, it's different in the eyes of the law. As compared to other forms of nullifying marriage, divorce is a lot easier and cheaper. It's very much in Hollywood. Our celebrity idols, which have many resources to do so, jump from one relationship to another through divorce.

According to statistics, only two countries in the world have strict point of view when it comes to marriage. Thus, they don't allow laws related to this to be passed. One would be the Vatican and the other one is small country in Asia which is the Philippines. In the US, it's as common as our daily lives. Every single day, a lot of couples or one of the parties goes to courts to file such cases and every day trials related to these cases are also being heard.

Marriage can be good but there's always a point in life where the couple would need to separate to make their lives better. It's not always about differences; it's not always about the fights or the misunderstandings. There are some instances where divorce is the solution for a certain problem. Divorce is a complete termination of marriage relationship and once decided, it would be going to the start again.

It doesn't have to end this way. Decisions made from too much emotion can sometimes lead to a more drastic end. To stop this from happening, there's a way that can be which doesn't have to lead to divorce. Couples that have problems just need some space at times to think about everything before the actual decision. It just doesn't have to end in divorce immediately. Each party needs a lot of time to think about themselves to make certain decisions without regret.

This whole process of thinking and recollecting can be done through a condition which usually precedes divorce. This one is called legal separation. This doesn't totally end the marriage. It will just require the couple to live separately for a given period of time until they have decided whether to continue or end their married life totally. Some people think that divorce and legal separation are the same but it's not. Although both are in the same field, they are two different conditions.

Trouble with marriage can start with legal separation. It won't end the marriage but you will have to agree on some things before living separately. There's a need to take responsibility of things like child custody, debts and more. Even if you have to decide to have divorce later on, there will be no regrets. Decisions from exaggerated emotions aren't good and it's not the way you should go. Problems always have solutions and it doesn't have to end with divorce.
