Divorce settlement agreements

A divorce settlement agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms of a divorce between two spouses. It includes decisions about property division, alimony (spousal support), child custody, visitation rights, and child support payments. This agreement is negotiated by both parties, often with the help of lawyers, to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Once signed and approved by a court, it becomes legally binding, ensuring both parties adhere to the agreed terms. This process aims to minimize conflict and provide clarity for both individuals moving forward after the divorce.
