Spouses are considered separated when they have started living separately from each other with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. This often means that one party has moved out of the family home. Spouses can, however, be considered separated even if they continue to live in the same house together.
A divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage that happens after parties have already separated. Only the Court can grant a divorce.
