Attorney answers:
Separation or Divorce?
A seperation is not a divorce. A divorce legally establishes you are not married. During a seperation, you are still legally married. You do not need an attorney for a seperation, simply live seperate.

Attorney answers:
Separation or Divorce?
Allow me to correct my earlier response. You cannot simply walk out the door and be considered legally seperated, even though you are living seperate. You need a court order to be legally seperated. Usualy attorneys charge less for a seperation agreement.

Attorney answers:
I am trying to find out if my landlord/Mngr can add additional terms to my lease agreement without explaining it or without m
You are correct. A contract, and in this case, an addendum to a contract, is not formed if one party never accepts, as in your case. Refuse to pay the 3 months rent due, contact an attorney if and when the landlord continues with the issue.
