Separation vs Big D

What is the purpose of being legally separated?
Why not live separate & then divorce when you are sure? ---- unless of course that's your state's rqmt on the way to the big D.

(ie - I live in GA - Anyone know if what's required here?)

I can't speak about legal specifics for Georgia, but one benefit a legal separation should provide is some financial isolation, meaning in case your significant other attempts to sabotage their/your credit rating you won't be dragged down with them.

Im pretty sure (working on memory here) that there is no legal separation in GA.
