That's a great question. In fact, I get asked that question nearly every day. Texas doesn't recognize illegal separation like other states do. In Texas, if you want to have a, quote, legal separation, you're going to need to file a divorce and go get a temporary order. So if you're in a situation where your spouse is asking for legal separation, that's probably a good time for you to go and get an experienced family law attorney to help guide you through that process.
