Spouses that are separated can get back together and live together again to try and make the marriage work. Within the one-year separation period, they can get back together in a marriage-like relationship for up to 90 days without restarting the clock on the date of separation. If they live together for more than 90 days, the one-year period of separation starts over if they later break up again. For more details, see our information on [[Separation and Separation Agreements (Script 115)|separation and separation agreements (no. 115)]].
