What is the difference between being married and being separated, or is there even one?
My parents, for example, are still married, but my dad has been working off five states away and we haven't been together in months. My mom and dad aren't divorced, but would they be considered "separated"?
Thanks.

Also worth mentioning, that we talk daily. We always call one another, sometimes two or three times a day, to check up on things, so there's that.

Only if he no longer lives with you guys. Ask your mother.

If theyve not filed for divorce or legal separation, then, they are married. He's away working, separated from his family by physical miles, not necessarily by heart and mind.
Why dont you ask your mom? or dad? Do they speak often? How is the communication...like are there I miss you's and I love you's exchanged?? If not, it's quite possible that they are 'separated' in their relationship, in mind or heart as well. Cheer up though kiddo. If you have concerns, just ask your folks. Take care. Peace.

Married is a normal, married relationship. They live together, nothing's wrong.
Separated means they are still married, they're just taking extended time off from each other and possibly seeing if that will fix their marriage or they're away from each other while a divorce is pending.

you could in basic terms report as head of relatives if your important different has delivered in little to no earnings, low adequate that they qualify as a "based." Making greater money does not immediately make you "head of relatives." And occasion of a head of relatives subject would be if one important different is working at an analogous time as the different is in school. many times submitting at an analogous time supplies you an even bigger return, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it relies upon. i'd advise filling out your tax return the two tactics, then report the only that grants you greater money lower back.

They are geographically separated.... apparently because of your dad's job right? So no... they're not technically 'separated", they just have the misfortune of not being able to live together right now. Unless of course.... there's something they aren't telling you. Ask them.

kinda but in order to be seperated you can have it done legally through a lawyer , which is a legal seperation which intells specifics such as residency and money , visitation issues until you decide if you are ready for an actual divorce. hope this helps. good luck.

Hey...
What really matter is.....how does he feel about you...No matter what is going on with your parents..You can't change.
But what is going on with you and them you can....
You just need to sit back and think about what you remember most about being a family and don't let it mess you up.....
sometimes this can carry over to your adulthood and your relationship with people.....
I'm sure you heard this before.....You didn't have anything to do with what is going on with your father and I.......and she is right.
You have to remember....they were together before you came along.....so they have been together longer then they have been your parents....and fights between parents can go way back.

Separated is when they fight and are thinking about getting a divorce or are getting space from each other. So it depends.

They don't want to be together anymore, but don't want to pay for a divorce as it is really expensive.
