In the former, no proof of wrong doing is necessary. The spouse seeking legal separation usually does not even need to give a reason, or if so, simply may state “incompatibility,” “don’t get along,” or something along these lines. It should be noted however, that in some states a period of living apart must first be exercised. This can be a few months to a year, depending on the state. Your divorce lawyer will know the details of this.
