Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse.
In cases involving children, governments have a clear interest in ensuring that disputes between parents do not spill over into the family courts. One way of doing this is through the encouragement of a parenting plan. In the United States, all states now require parents to file a parenting plan when they legally separate or divorce.
Divorce can be contrasted with an annulment, which is a declaration that a marriage is void, though the effects of marriage may be recognized in such unions, such as spousal support or alimony, child custody, child support, and distribution of property.
Divorce laws vary considerably around the world. It is banned in Malta and in the Philippines, but an annulment is permitted.
Legal separation also known as Judicial Separation is in the form of Decree granted by the Family court to the couples to live separately. This is a step before actual grant of Decree of Divorce.
The couples living under the Decree of Legal or Judicial Separation can unite & start living together i.e. they can resume the conjugal relationship without any legal formalities, but the couples granted decree of Divorce cannot unite & start living together i.e. they cannot resume the conjugal relationship, if they want to they have to marry again legally. This the main difference between a Legal Separation & a Divorce.
