Legal separation verses divorce
Could someone please tell me what the difference is between a legal separation and a divorce. What is the legal differences in obtaining one over the other? I have adult children and I have been separated from my husband for almost 3 years. I am coming into a large settlement soon and I want to get out of the marriage so he won't have any claims to my upcoming money.
If I get a legal separation is that as legally binding as a divorce. Would he be barred from being able to have claim to any of my settlement?:confused:
