Reasons for filing Separate Maintenance instead of a divorce:
1. One of the parties would lose health care coverage because of a divorce
2. The parties don’t wish to divorce due to religious reasons
3. The parties wish to take a breather from the marriage but don’t wish to be responsible for the other’s debt during the break
Basically, a Decree of Separate Maintenance covers everything a Decree of Divorce covers, such as property and debt division, and child support and visitation, except that the Decree of Separate Maintenance does not end the marriage from a legal standpoint.
The biggest difference between filing for Separate Maintenance and a Complaint for Divorce is that the parties remain legally married after the Separate Maintenance has been granted.
A Separate Maintenance can be filed with both parties agreeing to, and signing, the paperwork, or with only one party signing. If only the Plaintiff signs, the other party is served with the Complaint for Separate Maintenance and then has the option to file an Answer and Counterclaim.
