In Washington state, does a couple automatically become legally separated six months (or at any other time prior to the final divorce decree) after filing for divorce? Is there a way to get a legal separation while a divorce is pending trial?
My response:
No, and no. You either file for a Dissolution of Marriage or Legal Separation - - one or the other. Once a choice is made, you can't get the other.
I think what you're trying to ask is this:
"I am involved in a divorce that includes other issues, like children, real estate property, and / or debts. I would like to get my divorce finalized while the other issues are pending. Is this possible?"
Let me know.
