The action is usually referred to as "separate maintenance", where the couple reside apart but are still legally married. The court establishes the rights and liabilities of each party (child support, custody, property division, alimony, etc.). It is required that a couple file for and be granted a divorce for the marriage to be legally dissolved. Actually, no, Texas does not have legal separation. per http://www.nicholslaw.com/CM/FSDP/PracticeCenter/Family-Law/Texas-Divorce.asp?focus=faq A legal separation deals with property distribution and child support and custody issues without ending the marriage. While most states have some form of legal separation, however, Texas does not. In Texas, temporary orders concerning marital issues can be granted while a divorce is pending, but there is no provision for an indefinite legal separation.
