Whether the prospect of ending your marriage leaves you feeling exhilarated or devastated (or somewhere in between), a divorce action is something that can have very long-reaching consequences on you and those close to you. Protect yourself and your loved ones from unnecessary heartache by making sure you gather key information and thoughtfully consider the possible consequences before taking action.

If you do not want to end your marriage, but do want to live separately, you may wish to consider entering into a Separation Agreement or filing an action for Separate Maintenance.
