Separation is not the same thing as divorce, but they are similar. If you don’t want a divorce and are considering a separation instead, or if you are in need of separation mediation, Ewert Law can help.
Separation
What is a Separation?
People often use the term separation wrong. Under Colorado Law, a formal separation operates in much the same way that a divorce does, except that the parties remain married at the end. A separation thus results in the division of property and debt, as well as determinations about support. Most importantly, a separation can be converted to a divorce after the fact without consent of both parties. Accordingly, when people talk about separation, what they often mean is that they are no longer in a relationship with their significant other – they are estranged.
A legal separation is rare and is often pursued for specific reasons. If you think you would rather be separated than divorced, Ewert Law can help you through the process.

Benefits of Legal Separation
Choosing a legal separation over a divorce can have several advantages depending on your circumstances. Some people may choose legal separation to keep health insurance, tax benefits, retirement benefits, or to see if they can work things out without filing for divorce.
Legal separation allows married couples to live separately in an organized manner. It helps them address key matters such as child custody, child support, and property division. This arrangement provides a structured approach to handling these important issues.
