LEGAL SEPARATION ATTORNEY IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
Fort Collins Legal Separation Lawyer
When You Need Space Without Divorce
Divorce may seem like too drastic of a step to take when you have been married for many years and take the institution of marriage seriously. Perhaps you are estranged or one spouse is in prison or incompetent because of mental illness. However, you may realize that you and your spouse need mutual legal protections as you are no longer operating as a single family unit. Or perhaps one is about to start a business, and you wish to protect the other spouse from any potential liability if the business should fail. For whatever reason, you may wish to discuss your options such as legal separation with an experienced family law attorney.

Why Separation?
For some people, a legal separation is a step toward divorce, but without the finality of divorce. If you separate legally and later wish to reconcile, a new financial organization of your marriage can be spelled out in a postmarital agreement. On the other hand, if you separate legally and later wish to divorce, there will still be work to do, to make sure that all assets are included in your divorce settlement. However, the legal separation can be a good start toward property division in anticipation of divorce.
