Why obtain a judicial separation?

Question

Accepted Answer

A judicial separation is not usually a sensible course for most people, because at the end of the process they are still married to each other. However, sometimes it is relied upon by couples who have a religious or moral objection to divorce or where they want to resolve financial issues on separation but have not yet been married for a year or where there might be some financial benefit in not divorcing, eg where there is significant disparity in the ages of the couple and their respective pension provision.
