What is the Difference Between Divorce and Separation?

|

If you allege grounds for divorce, as an alternative, you can file a complaint for legal separation. Legal separation, unlike divorce, does not affect the bonds of matrimony, but permits the parties to cease cohabitation. The court can also provide for matters like child custody, visitation, support and property issues during the legal separation.

TCA §36-4-102
