A more thorough explanation: Separation refers to the act of living apart from one’s spouse or partner, typically with the intention of ending the relationship. In legal terms, separation may involve a formal agreement outlining the rights and responsibilities of each party during the period of separation, but it does not necessarily signify the end of the marriage or partnership.
Example: After the couple’s separation, they decided to divide their assets and file for divorce.
