How can couples be separated?

Separation refers to the situation where husband and wife stop living together and establish their own way of life, while continuing to maintain their legal relationship. The separation of husband and wife can be manifested as still living under the same roof, but living in separate rooms; It can also show that the two sides live in two different places completely. As for how to determine the separation of husband and wife, we should pay attention to the following problems: (1) It is difficult for the court to determine the separation without separation. Because of the limitation of economic conditions, most couples still have only one house, or they can't afford to rent a house for a long time. So after their feelings were not harmonious, they slept in separate beds and ate separately. When one party files a divorce lawsuit, if the other party does not admit the fact of separation, and cohabitation between husband and wife is a purely private matter, it is difficult for others to testify for it, and the court will generally not accept it. (2) Husband and wife living in different places is not necessarily a legal separation. Some couples don't live in the same place because of employment, study and other reasons, so the separation between husband and wife is not necessarily a legal separation. The sign of legal separation is that husband and wife do not have sex together because of emotional disharmony and do not fulfill their obligations. However, if couples living in different places are not in harmony, it can also constitute a legal separation, but it must be proved by documentary evidence and other evidence such as letters.
