Save Money when you Separate-Legal Separation and Health Care

The term “legal separation” is almost always misused by the general public and even lawyers who do not practice in the area of family law.   The term itself is very confusing, so I can understand why.   Many people say they are “legally separated” from their spouse when what they really mean is that they broke up and are not getting back together or the relationship is over.   Usually a spouse will have moved out or moved to another area of the house until they are ready to move out, however this is not “legal separation” but just “physical separation”. &n
