A legal separation is a proceeding that is similar to a divorce in that it enables spouses to obtain court orders as to the equitable division of property, child custody, parenting time, child support, and spousal support. Because there is no residency requirement for filing a complaint for legal separation, spouses who have recently moved to Ohio may file for legal separation without satisfying the 6-month residency requirement for divorce. Unlike a divorce, this process does not terminate the marital relationship.
