It is pretty much the same process as to a divorce. You still need to file for legal separation, not a divorce, still nee to divide assets, figure out child custody, calculate child support. The only difference is that at the end you are not divorce but separated. Additional paperwork must be filed for a divorce. You should go to your local court self-help center. Those attorneys there can tell you what form to use and where to file them.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
