What is a 'trial separation'?
A trial separation is when a couple lives apart to decide if they want to end their marriage or work towards reconciliation. It allows space to address personal difficulties, as Ola and James Jordan mentioned. It's a significant step, often involving discussions about finances, children, and future living arrangements, without immediately finalising a divorce.
