Can You Be Legally Separated In Florida?
Technically, Florida does not offer a legal separation status like some other states. You can’t file a formal legal separation action in court, but there are legal tools available to help you establish financial support, parenting plans, and boundaries while still being married.
One of the most commonly used options is filing a “Petition for Support Unconnected with Dissolution of Marriage.” This allows a spouse to request child support, spousal support, or timesharing arrangements without officially filing for divorce.
Why Some People Choose Separation Instead of Divorce
There are many reasons you may want to live apart from their spouse without ending the marriage immediately—religious beliefs, health insurance considerations, family needs, or simply needing time and space. Kelley Law, P.A. understands the sensitive nature of this transition and can help you create a structured and enforceable agreement that works for your situation.

- Securing temporary child custody or visitation terms
