[quote=Complex]Sounds like you are doing good progress Rysin. Good to hear you feel better. You don't take any meds do you? Do you have IC? Legal separation is such a confusing thing to me still. It's like a trial D, or just a painful way to make things more amicable for WAW.
I disagree that it's a trial D or that it is "just a painful way to make things more amicable (??) for a WAW", at least as it relates to CA.
(and I did explain this to you in some detail, Complex, so I must not have been very clear)
Rys, I don't recall which state you are in but here, a LS is different than a divorce.
I myself filed for a LS when h was in Alaska,
1) to prevent him from mortgaging our home "to invest" with his heroes up there.
2) To protect assets without a divorce is one huge reason for a Sep,
3) another is to retain health insurance, and 4) another might be for religious or moral reasons.
A WAS can simply TELL people you are 'separated" when you don't live together which is, technically the truth. There is no need for them to file something legal for it.
But if one of the reasons I mentioned above is relevant, or some other reason I did not mention, then it might make sense.
I'd never do it "to make a point" b/c I would not know what the point made, is...
If it was a counselor suggesting it, it might be b/c they want you protected and know you are not the one who wants a divorce. You know, you could ask them why they are suggesting it, as opposed to suggesting you file for a divorce...
But always see lawyers for LEGAL matters and see if it would make any sense for you.
