Legal separation is a formal arrangement where spouses live separately but remain married, while divorce legally terminates the marriage.
A divorce timeline varies based on case complexity and the jurisdiction. Most divorces take several months to a year.
The cost of divorce varies depending on factors such as legal fees, the complexity of the case, and whether it’s contested or uncontested.
To apply for temporary child or spousal support, you typically file a motion with the court outlining your financial needs and circumstances.
While it’s possible to navigate divorce or child custody proceedings without a lawyer, having legal representation ensures your rights are protected and helps you navigate complex legal processes effectively.
