Legal separation is very much similar to a divorce except at the conclusion of the process, the spouses are still married and are not free to legally remarry.
There are a number of reasons why legal separation may make more sense for a couple than divorce. These include:
A divorce takes 6 months in California, while legal separation is immediate. Divorce proceedings also require one of the two spouses to be a legal resident of California, while legal separation does not maintain this requirement. Of course the greatest difference between legal separation and divorce is that at the end of the proceedings, neither spouse has the ability to legally remarry.

In a legal separation, division of property is completely in the hands of the courts. In fact, the court has the power to decide all marital issues except for the status of the marriage itself. These include but are not limited to:
When one spouse files for legal separation, it is permitted (and actually the norm) for the other spouse to file for dissolution of marriage (or in other words, divorce).
