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))))).
