What are the different types of couple separation?

The different types of couple separation are:

Same roof separation – The couple share the same home but live separately and have minimal communication. This is often done due to financial constraints preventing one partner from moving out.

Trial Separation – This is a temporary arrangement where the couple lives separately to decide if they want to reconcile or divorce.

Permanent Separation – The couple agree to live separately with no intention of reconciling, and often enter into a Separation Agreement.

Legal Separation – This is a court-approved arrangement where the couple lives separately. The court can issue orders regarding property division and maintenance payments.
