Separation, in the law of domestic relations, either a separation agreement, that is, a contract entered into between husband and wife by which they agree to live apart; or a judicial separation, a court decree that separates the parties to the marriage and provides for their living apart.

A separation agreement contains provisions for the custody and support of minor children, as well as for the division of property between the parties.
