If the parties cannot agree to a separation agreement, your attorney may recommend that you obtain a court ordered separation. This requires a lawsuit. In some states, you must prove certain grounds similar to those for divorce. The court may decide issues of child custody, visitation rights, support and property division as part of the separation agreement. This website provides general information only.
Laws develop over time and differ from state to state.
