Judicial separation is a legal process that allows married couples or civil partners to formalise their separation without ending the marriage or partnership through divorce or dissolution. It is granted by the court and enables both parties to live apart while resolving financial and legal responsibilities.
A judicial separation can be sought for the same reasons as divorce, but unlike divorce, there is no requirement to prove that the relationship has broken down irretrievably.
This option may be suitable for individuals who have religious, moral, or personal objections to divorce, or who have not yet been married for the minimum period required to apply for a divorce.
