Question 2

Sue and John have been married for ten years. Within those years they have had their mountains and their valleys. Sue even forgave John when he had a dalliance with their son's school bus driver. But now John is seriously interested in someone new, and she does mean a lot to him, enough that he wants to end his marriage. Sue isn't quite ready to call it quits. John has strayed before, so Sue suggests a legal separation. She has had her work hours cut recently, due to illness, and she doesn't see how she can support herself and her son without John's help. How would Sue benefit from a legal separation?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

If John agrees to a legal separation, he and Sue can live apart. He would still be legally married to her, so he couldn't marry his new sweetie right away.
This separation would give him and Sue a cooling-off period allowing them to re-think their marital situation and maybe even reconcile in the future. It would also give them time to think on matters of custody of their minor son, support, and property division, if it came to that. There are procedural mechanisms that would allow them to convert the legal separation to a divorce. If Sue is also very religious, a divorce might be frowned upon by her church. In addition, because her health is poor she might benefit from John's insurance coverage. While she only works part-time she might not receive coverage from her employer. A divorce might end the insurance benefit. Financially, she may qualify for federal Social Security because their marriage has met the ten-year minimum requirement. Sue feels her counter-proposal to divorce is a win situation, for her.
