FAQs

A bona fide state of separation refers to a legitimate and intentional period during which spouses live apart with the aim of ending their marriage. This separation is recognized legally and often serves as a precursor to divorce. It involves both parties agreeing to live independently, which can impact property division and custody arrangements in divorce proceedings.
