Legal Separation

Legal separation is not recognized under Philadelphia or Pennsylvania law the way that divorce is recognized. However, when a married couple is living separately, a legally binding separation agreement can be created. Such agreements are signed when a divorce is desired in the future, or if a couple is unsure about their future. A separation agreement addresses all of the important legal aspects of marriage dissolution such as division of property and child custody without the actual dissolution of marriage.

The Philadelphia separation attorneys of Petrelli Law, P.C. can help you with legal counsel and advice. We are committed to being entirely supportive of our clients whichever course they decide to pursue.
