Section 101
Judicial separation
(1)
A writ for judicial separation may be filed in court by either party to a marriage on the ground and circumstances set out in section 95(3), and that section applies, with the necessary modifications, in relation to such a writ as it applies in relation to a writ for divorce.
(2)
Where a court grants a judgment of judicial separation, it is no longer obligatory for the plaintiff to cohabit with the defendant.
(3)
The court may, on an application by writ of the spouse against whom a judgment of judicial separation has been made and on being satisfied that the allegations in the writ are true, rescind the judgment at any time on the ground that it was obtained in the absence of the plaintiff or, if desertion was the ground of the judgment, that there was reasonable cause for the alleged desertion.
