When couples decide to end their relationship, they may not always have the option of a divorce.
Instead, they may choose to separate and there are different types of separation they can choose from. Separation solicitors in North Wales can explain what is involved in each choice.
For example, a trial separation may be offered as a way of giving each person the chance to decide if they want to remain a couple or if they want to make the separation permanent. This could involve one party moving out of the shared home, though this would not change the legal ownership of the property. Some may choose to have a legal expert, draw up an informal agreement which could cover issues like joint bank accounts or who will pay which bills.
A permanent separation is when both individuals have decided they do not want to reconcile but are not yet ready to divorce. This option also normally involves a legal separation of finances and assets. One party, for instance, will not be liable for the other’s debts or finances.
Finally, a legal or judicial separation is an option for those who want to dissolve a relationship without going through a divorce. Solicitors in North Wales will support with the completion of the applications needed to complete this.
