JUDICIAL SEPARATION To qualify for a divorce, you need to have been married for at least one year However, your relationship may break down before the one year mark and you and your spouse might want to separate In this instance, you may want to make use of a Judicial Separation
WHAT IS JUDICIAL SEPARATION? You can apply to a court for Judicial Separation for the same reasons as you might apply for a divorce The only difference is that Judicial Separations are also available for marriages that are less than a year old However, bear in mind that even if you are granted a Judicial Separation, you will remain married and may want to apply for a divorce further down the line The purpose of a Judicial Separation is not to end your marriage, but rather state that you and your spouse are no longer cohabiting
WHAT IS JUDICIAL SEPARATION? A Judicial Separation also means that if you were to die intestate, your estate will not pass to your spouse However, It will not have an effect on any Will you have already made, so this is something you might need to bear in mind If your spouse is named in your current Will and you die before the end of your marriage, they could still inherit
WHY CONSIDER JUDICIAL SEPARATION? Judicial Separations are quite uncommon, but there are a few reasons why some people favour Judicial Separation over divorce: - You can still have a Judicial Separation if youve been married less than a year. - It can be less stressful than divorce, but still allows for the division of your assets. - The court can rule on certain aspects of the separation, such as the sale of the matrimonial home. - If one party objects to divorce on religious grounds, a Judicial Separation can be an alternative.
