in a nutshell, a legal separation works to help you maintain the quality of life you had prior to separation. The spouses are still married under the law. A legal separation and its resultant documents (custody, visitation, spousal and child support, etc) typically become the basis of a divorce after the proscribed waiting period. A divorce is the actual complete dissolution of the marriage.
I am sorry that it has come to this for you (((((BG))))).

Ok my friend, I've gotten my stupid crap out of the way and my head is clearer to pay attention and actually speak back to you. I'm sorry I've been lost for the last couple of days. Are you just asking to ask or are you really going there?
You know I don't know what to tell you but I want you to do nothing out of emotions. I love you. Call me. After 6 your time if you can hold off. If not not a problem. On the cell.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
I answered you on my thread. I think you can also look at is setting the ground work for a divorce if it comes to that. Like I said ex wouldn't even consider it because I wanted him to work on M if he was going to keep everything status quo.
I would say do what you need to so that you and the kids are protected.

In general, I believe LS is pretty much everything a divorce is, without the divorce. All child and money matters are settled, and for practical purposes you no longer have the legal benefits (or encumberances) of the M. I think the main benefit is that you are protected financially, if your partner goes irresponsible on you. Also, you have legal claim to whatever child support and spousal support are determined. (I'm sure it varies from state to state, I think some states do not have LS.) I have heard that one disadvantage to LS is that if you then get D, you end up paying lawyers and courts twice for the same work. I don't know the accuracy of this.
