separation

Anonymous Asked:

hi I want to separate from my husband. I asked for it few about five months ago. He emotionally blackmailed me. Every time I talk about it he brings up our 3 years old daughter. Currently i am not working and I donot want to move out one morning without any notice. Do I have to have a solid reason (e.g. abuse, affairs) to get separation. I just do not want to live with him anymore.

Parties are considered to be living "separate and a part" when one party communicates to the other that the relationship is over. They do not need to give the spouse a reason. This is different from the grounds for divorce, which are separate and a part for one year, adultery and cruelty.
