Can Separated Couples Still Live Together in The UK?

CharityConnect: Can Separated Couples Still Live Together in The UK?
Separation and divorce are two relevant but different terms. These two need to be defined clearly. One should take separation and divorce concepts very seriously. Separation and divorce both have legal positions. These both need to be registered with the court.  People when pursuing the divorce often look for best family law solicitor in Manchester as they want the best services in this regard.
Separation is an agreement that happens before the divorce. It is monitored under the divorce settlement act. Normally couples who register their separation, live in separate households. Law does not bound to live in separate households. But it is against the nature of separation that two people who have registered their separation are still living together.
The concept of separation loses its meaning and purpose if a separated couple is living together. The meaning of separation is that two people do not have responsibility for each other. Two people do not share any financial liability or profit. Separated couples have the freedom to choose the profession of their life and freedom to do whatever one wants without consultation with another partner. In that sense separated couples if still share the same household cannot be free from responsibility. Under one shelter it is not possible to maintain separation. That is why separation agreement holds that separated couples should live and maintain separate households.
Although in most cases couples take separation as informal gestures to each other for tight strings among couples. Partners are not legally bound to get a separation agreement from the family  court if they are separating. But for the long term interest, it is recommended that a couple which is separating should get a separation agreement from the court. There are several benefits of this separation agreement. Both will not be liable for the offenses of another person in the future. Both will not be accountable to the law for the actions of the other person.
The UK does not prohibit separated couples from living together. For a joke, legal agencies have many other works to do. The beauty of the law in the UK is that law comes into the relations of people when someone calls it. It then becomes part of justice to settle any informal relationship. otherwise, the law does not prohibit any activity among couples if and only if there is no complaint registered against them by another person or any one of the couple.
Divorce is a much more serious issue. It is easy if a couple is ready for it but still both need to be reasonable in the court. One needs to show the reasons for divorce. And there are reasons which the court can discard on the request of another person. There are invalid reasons which cannot be admitted as genuine reasons. For example, if one partner gets to know the other partner is doing adultery for more than six months and this is the reason that one partner is presenting before the court. It cannot be an admissible reason.
