    Default What are the Benefits of Separating Prior to Divorce

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: mn
    What benefit is there financially or otherwise in being seperated for a year before filing?

    There isn't any "general" benefit, however depending on individual cases and their specific facts, there can sometimes be a benefit to one party or another in separating rather than divorcing.

    One example would be health insurance. If one party has a serious health problem that is not fully resolved yet, and the insurance is provided by their spouse's employment, then it can be a benefit to separate and wait to file for divorce until after the health issue has been resolved.
