Legal Separation

Denver Legal Separation Attorneys

Comprehensive Guidance From Start to Finish

Many couples in Denver and throughout the surrounding area encounter a similar issue: Although a couple may want to separate and live their lives separate and apart, they might not want to obtain a divorce for financial or religious reasons. A legal separation gives the couple the desired distance from each other without a divorce. However, a legal separation has many of the aspects of a divorce as the grounds for a legal separation are the same as for a divorce.

If a couple decides to enter a legal separation, the agreement must address the same issues as a divorce such as the division of assets, division of debts, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities and maintenance (alimony). 

Schedule your initial consultation by calling (720) 330-4623 or filling out our online form today.

A legal separation can be converted into a divorce by either one of the spouses at any time after 6 months from the date the court issues a Decree of Legal Separation. While the spouses are legally separated, marriage to another person is precluded. Once the court issues a Decree of Dissolution of Marriage, the legal separation terminates, and the parties are divorced even if they both do not agree to the divorce.

  • to divide their marital estate and determine child custody while they are still on friendly terms and still give the marriage a trial separation stopping short of a divorce
