How do I get a legal separation in Montana?

If one party requests, and the other party does not object, the court can grant you a decree of separation rather than a decree of dissolution (divorce).

The requirements to obtain a legal separation are similar to that of a dissolution.

But if you are legally separated, your marriage has not ended.  You are still considered married by law, and cannot legally remarry until you change the legal separation into a dissolution.

After 6 months of being legally separated, either party may ask for the court to change the decree of separation into a decree of dissolution.
