Legal separation (sometimes "legal separation", "separate maintenance", "divorce mensa et thoro one" or "divorce from bed and board") is a legal process by which a married couple can formalize a separation in fact still being legally married. A legal separation is granted in the form of a court order.
Moreover, in cases where children, a court order for legal separation often makes temporary arrangements for the care, custody and financial support of the children ("for now") involved. Therefore, part of the court order determining custody of the child. Some couples get a legal separation as an alternative to divorce, based on religious or moral objections to divorce.
Legal separation does not automatically lead to divorce. The couple could reconcile, in which case they do not have to do anything to continue their marriage. If the two do not reconcile, and want to continue with divorce, divorce must apply explicitly.

Divorce Dissolution of Marriage
Divorce (or the dissolution of marriage) is the termination of a marital union, canceling and / or reorganization of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law in the country in particular and / or state.
Divorce should not be confused with the annulment, declaring the marriage null and void; legal separation (a legal process by which a married couple can formalize a de facto separation while still being legally married) or de facto separation (a process where the spouses leave informally partner). The reasons for divorce vary from inadequate sex, lack of independence, or a clash of personalities.
Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most countries the permission of a court or other authority in a legal process is required. The legal process of divorce may also involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation / access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property and division of debt. In most countries of monogamy is required by law, so that divorce allows each former partner marries another; where polygamy is legal, but not polyandry, divorce allows the woman to marry a new husband.
Divorce can be a stressful experience: affects finances, living arrangements, household chores, schedules, parenting and outcomes of children of the marriage and that each stage of childhood development face adulthood. If the family includes children, can be profoundly affected.
The only countries that do not allow divorce are the Philippines and the Vatican City, an ecclesiastical state, which has no divorce proceedings. The countries that have legalized divorce relatively recently are Italy (1970), Portugal (1975), Brazil (1977), Spain (1981), Argentina (1987), Paraguay (1991), Colombia (1991 * Ireland (1996) Chile (2004) and Malta (2011).
