Florida law does not specifically provide for a legal separation per se.
However, separated spouses may need to pursue or defend against a legal proceeding for support not connected with a divorce.
Divorce may not be right for you for religious reasons, for health insurance reasons or for other compelling personal or family reasons.
Florida statutes provide for support unconnected with the dissolution of marriage.
We can advise you if you and your spouse are separated and you need support.
