Separation - legally speaking - means that any debt incurred by either party during this time is not the marriages responsibility and cannot be held accountable for if a divorce does proceed.

In the state of West Virginia a legal separation is the same as a divorce except you can not marry.
I got a legal separation from my husband and I asked the courts what it entailed and that is what I was told. He had no legal rights to my coming and going or who I associated with or my bills or my assets. If I wanted to live with another man, he could not declare adultery.
But...we did file income tax together the first year because it was after the first of June when we were legally separated. But thereafter we filed separate.

some times people just need some time apart to see if they are better off with or without each other. its kind of like a trial run at divorce. some separate longer than others it really just depends on the depth of the problems. the fact that they communicate is good and shows that perhaps they are trying to work it out.

They are not living under the same roof. They are what you call separate which usually leads to divorce.
