Savannah GA Divorce Lawyer - Savannah Georgia Child Custody Attorney

What does separate maintenance mean in a Savannah GA Divorce?

Separate Maintenance is a type of lawsuit that can be filed instead of a divorce. In a Separate Maintenance suit, the issues that would be handled in a divorce case are resolved, but the couple stays married. For example, child custody, spousal and child support and the division of assets can be sorted out in a Separate Maintenance suit. Some people file these instead of a divorce suit for religious reasons, or because they have very specific legal issues, like the need to maintain health insurance. A Separate Maintenance suit may help a couple resolve complicated legal issues, but the couple does not end up divorced and neither spouse can remarry. In order for either the husband or wife to remarry, the couple must get divorced. Couples can file a Separate Maintenance suit and then later get divorced if their circumstances change.
