Separation as Opposed to Divorce.

Sometimes divorce is NOT the answer.  Have you considered a legal separation?  In the State of Illinois it is often used when couples are not ready to concede that their marriage is over.  At this point they may agree to separate their finances and their residences.  For example, a spouse may want to divide the couple’s assets, but their religious conviction does not permit a divorce.

There are many cases where a disabled spouse needs to remain married for health insurance reasons.  What if one spouse is being sued and the other is putting the cumulative wealth of both spouses at risk because the other spouse has jeopardized his or her own assets?

There are many good reasons to consider a separation instead of a divorce.  An attorney to consult is Vincent Ruggiero of Ruggiero Family Law.  Call Attorney Ruggiero today at (630) 654-0044 to discuss your options and to work out the best scenario for you and your spouse.  He serves Cook, Kane, DuPage, and Will Counties in Chicagoland.
