In this case, if they do not get any court order of separation they consider as husband and wife and further if the wife or child wants any support from her husband she wants to file a petition to get appropriate remedy. I have a vast practice in that area you can seek my assistance in your matter.

Separation is different from divorce. Divorce is necessary if a spouse wants to get out of the marital bond and get remarried. A father must support his children and you can approach the court for this purpose by filing maintenance petition. Your cousin is still the wife of the husband and that status would continue.
