Youngstown, Ohio, Legal Separation Lawyer
When does legal separation make more sense than divorce? In many marriages, a non-working spouse has come to rely on the medical benefits offered by their spouse's job. A divorce would mean losing availability to those important healthcare and financial benefits. A legal separation is not as binding as divorce for asset division and property settlements, but it will also allow certain benefits of marriage to remain intact. It's not the solution for every couple, but it may be right for you.
