Additional Information: I left my husband 5 years ago and moved out of state (we were married and lived in Northborough, MA). When I moved, we just needed a break. Can we remain separated indefinitely or do we eventually have to divorce?
ATTORNEY ANSWER:
You may stay separated as long as you like but you will still be considered married. By not proceeding with and obtaining a divorce, he would have the ability to claim a share of your assets that you acquire post separation and he will have the right to claim a share of your estate should you pass away.
