Frequently asked questions: Separation

What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?

A legal separation allows couples to formally separate their finances and living arrangements without ending their marriage. Divorce, however, legally ends the marriage completely, allowing both individuals to remarry if they wish.

While separation agreements do not technically require court approval, it is advisable to have an agreement reviewed by a legal professional to ensure fairness. Courts may give weight to a well-prepared and fair agreement when deciding future financial settlements.

A separation agreement can be adjusted if both parties mutually agree. However, any changes should be formally recorded and ideally confirmed through a solicitor to prevent future disagreements or disputes.

The timescale depends on the complexity of your situation and how easily both parties reach an agreement. Typically, a separation agreement might be finalised within a few weeks when parties are cooperative, but it can take longer if disputes arise.

When drafted accurately with legal assistance, a separation agreement clearly sets out financial obligations between both parties. While not legally binding in itself, the courts treat it very seriously, offering substantial protection if disputes arise later.
