Informal separation or postnuptial agreements in Georgia, while not recognized by the state as a legal separation, may be a good option for couples who wish to continue receiving the legal and financial benefits of marriage without living together. According to Psychology Today, a temporary separation may even make a struggling relationship stronger in the long run. During an informal separation, some couples may pursue a divorce, child custody, or related goal, while others may wish to simply remain separated. Typically, couples without large shared assets or children, as well as situations where neither spouse requires financial support from the other, are best suited for informal separation.
