Legal Separation: A Marital Dissolution alternative
In California, a legal separation will get you separated under court orders, but the marriage is not ended. By filing a legal separation, the parties remain married, and orders will be provided for matters, which include the children, support and property. Parties that opt to use legal separation do so for reasons such as religious or moral reasons, but cannot continue to live together. Sometimes it is practical to file a legal separation, in the cases of Social Security benefits, veteran’s benefits, retirement and other benefits which may be lost if there is a divorce. It can be advantageous if one of the spouses has a long-term illness and a health-insurance plan allows that party to remain covered.

Nullity
A nullity (which was once called annulment) invalidates the marriage. Grounds for a nullity can be quite difficult to prove. A nullity proceeding is maintained on the theory that, for reasons existing at the time of the marriage, no valid marriage occurred. A marriage may be invalid and may be voidable because of incestuous, bigamous, induced by fraud or force, party under the age of consent or physical incapability.
