Long Island Legal Separation Attorney
Alternatives to Divorce in New York
The first thought that most people have when their marriage is failing
is to file for divorce. What they may not realize is that divorce is not
the only option. Many couples commence divorce proceedings simply because
they do not realize that they have a way to live apart while still keeping
their marriage intact. If you are thinking about dissolving your marriage
in Long Island, consult a
Long Island divorce attorney first to discuss the possibility of legal separation.
Legal separation is a divorce alternative that may be more beneficial to
the parties involved. You can request a legal separation decree jointly,
or you can obtain a judgment for legal separation through litigation.
Either way, you and your spouse will be able to live separately with separate
accounts but, you will still be married. You can then decide whether you
can live apart from your spouse and whether to later divorce.
