Legal separation also known as Judicial Separation is in the form of Decree granted by the Family court to the couples to live separately. This is a step before actual grant of Decree of Divorce. The couples living under the Decree of Legal or Judicial Separation can unite & start living together i.e. they can resume the conjugal relationship without any legal formalities, but the couples granted decree of Divorce cannot unite & start living together i.e. they cannot resume the conjugal relationship, if they want to they have to marry again legally. This the main difference between a Legal Separation & a Divorce.

When a court of law separates a couple from each other permanently on the appeal of either or both of them, such a separation is known as legal separation or divorce.

You file for a legal separation just like you file for a divorce and you are not responsible for the other persons debts or anything after the judge grants your legal separated.

Many definitions given are quite good but do note one thing the actual definition changes from country to country, state to state, province to province etc. So a lawyer, or city hall can give you such an answer (a question such as this, if it is only this question, should not cost you anything and can be done with a phonecall and the secretary herself can probably answer it.
