Judicial separation is a court-ordered separation where: The marriage continues to exist Spouses are not required to live together Rights and duties arising from cohabitation are suspended. Yes. You may apply for judicial separation as the first legal step, without filing for divorce. The difference :- Judicial Separation = “Let’s live apart legally and see” Mutual Divorce = “We both agree to end the marriage permanently”
