| text = “Marianne and I separated a few months ago. I thought we needed to do something to get a legal separation, like sign some papers or go to court. But a lawyer told me we don’t have to do anything. As long as one of us wants to end the relationship, tells the other, and acts like our relationship is over, we are separated. Once we’ve been separated for at least a year, one or both of us can apply to court for a divorce. In the meantime, we can make a family law agreement to settle our issues.” <br> | | text = “Marianne and I separated a few months ago.
